The Facts of Life Lyrics by Gloria Loring

A Shot In The Dark

1979

You take the good
You take the bad
You take them both and there you have
The facts of life
The facts of life
When the world never seems
To be living up to your dreams
Then suddenly you're finding out
The facts of life are all about you
When there's someone that you care about
It really isn't fair
They're out to slow you up
When you're growing up
When you let them flirt
And then you hurt
A waiting when your date is late in showing up
Then you're growin' up
When it's more than just the birds and the bees
You need someone telling you please
There's only one conclusion
There will always be confusion over you
It takes a lot to get 'em right
When you're learning the facts of life
You'll avoid a lot of damage
And enjoy the fun of managing
The facts of life
They shed a lot of light
If you hear 'em from your brother
Better clear 'em with your mother
Better get 'em right
Call her late at night
You got the future in the palm of your hand
All you gotta do to get you through is understand
You think you'd rather do with out
You'll never muddle through
Without the truth
The facts of life are all about you
