Hold me like a mother would

Like I've always known somebody should, yeah

Although tomorrow don't look that good

Well it just goes to show

Though people say we're an unlikely couple

I'm seeing double of you

Oh,

This is life

When everything's all right

Living living living living living living living life

Oh, hope for the hopeless

I'm learning to cope, with the emotionless mediocrity o-oh

Of day to day living

How can I help but be restless when

Everything seems so tasteless

And all the colours seem to have faded away

Oh,

This is life

When everything's all right

Living living living living living living living life

Hold me like a mother would

Like I've always known somebody should, yeah

Although tomorrow don't look that good

Well it just goes to show

Though people say we're an unlikely couple

Doris Day and Mott the Hoople

Oh,

This is life

When everything's all right

Living living living living living living living life
