Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Baby, life's what you make it
Can't escape it
Baby, yesterday's favorite
Don't you hate it
[Verse 2]
(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it
(Everything's all right)
[Verse 3]
Baby, life's what you make it
Don't backdate it
Baby, don't try to shade it
Beauty's naked
[Verse 4]
(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it
(Everything's all right)
What you make it
[Verse 5]
Baby, life's what you make it
Celebrate it
Anticipate it
Yesterday's faded
Nothing can change it
Life's what you make it
[Verse 6]
(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it
(Everything's all right)
Life's what you make it
(Everything's all right)
[Verse 7]
Yeah, yeah
(Everything's all right)
Baby
(Everything's all right)
