Story of My Life

Went to school dreamed a lot Chased the girls I never got Every time they'd look away I found the game so hard to play The more I learned the less I knew I didn't know quite what to do Went to work made cups of tea Pretty girls they'd smile at me Played the field as best I could Oh how I've been misunderstood But perseverance that's the key Nothing comes that easily So take your time and play it cool Take your time yes that's the rule I'm playing you... the story of my life I fell in love with you know who Never thought it would be you Turned my back and you were gone This futile quest goes on and on There has to be a better way To shake the woes of yesterday But take your time and play it cool Take your time yes that's the rule I'm playing you... the story of my life The game of love it doesn't pay It's disappointment every day Love is tough oh can't you see Pretty girls don't notice me What can you say what can you do To make those ladies fall for you I tried my best and that's no lie Can't get a girl oh why oh why oh why? I learned guitar to play this song Pretty girls they came along Yes love it comes to those who wait So work it out it's not too late I think I'm on to something good Now at last I'm understood Oh take your time and play it cool Take your time yes that's the rule I'm playing you... the story of my life I'm playing you... the story of my life
