Girl,
you got some tears on your pillow
And a picture of your man
torn up on the floor
He said he's moving in
with your so -called friend
Bottom line is that he don't
want you no more
You could decide it's for a reason
That everything's the way
that it's meant to be
A wonderful loan with
just a heart of stone
And an attitude to keep you company
But then why, why, why, why
But anybody won't live that way
It's alright, you'll survive
You'll make it if you take it day by day
Day by day by day by day,
yeah
Now you change to the
quicksand treadmill
Chasing the cheese down those
flagstone corridors
Counting your days by the bills you pay
All the while denying that the boy
you once were wanted more
You swore a pride like a refugee
You spoke a smile of a
game show host
You're breaking your back
like a rickshaw boy
Well, raise your glass
But make a choice, and that's why, why
Why would anybody wanna
live that way?
It's alright, you'll survive
You'll make it if you take it day by day
Day by day by day by day
For crying out loud,
won't you give it a rest
You've always been your
own worst enemy
You've got to choose
your choice,
you've got to raise your voice
It's your responsibility,
your destiny
You're gonna lose or
you're gonna be free
So fight, fight
Why would anybody
wanna live that way?
It's alright, you'll survive
You'll make it if you take it
Day by day
Why, why, why would anybody
wanna live that way?
It's alright, you'll survive,
you'll make it if you take it
Day by day, day by day by day by day
Day by day by day by day, yeah
Woo, everything's gonna be alright now,
yeah
Day by day, come on now
