Song Lyrics

Written by Nat Allison & Mike Chapman

I got up this morning and opened my eyes

Instead of the sun I saw clouds in the sky

No matter what happens I’m gonna be nice

And I’m gonna look for a positive vibe

I go to the park and I take off my shoes

I pick up the paper and read all the news

But when I decide to go for a walk

You can be sure that I step in some doggy doo doo… oh..

These are things that I tolerate

I’m always on time, I’m never later

So how I come I can’t catch a break?

And some one somewhere thinks I’m just crude

But I’ve made I’m mind that the future is bright

Your load will be heavy but mine will be light

It’s better to laugh and be gentle and kind

Cause in the end it’s what’s inside you

It’s all up to you what can I do?

Chorus

Why do you push me and pull me and bend me

Why do you get in my face and offend me

Go out of your way to up-end me

Isn’t it obvious I’m really friendly

You’re suckin’ my strength and you’re sappin’ my energy

Are you for real or just what you pretend to be

Go out of your way to up-end me

Isn’t it obvious I’m really friendly

I get in my car and I head to the store

The traffic is bad and my engine has stalled

A girl in distress and I’m being ignored

It’s making me feel like I’m breaking the law

Everyone’s yellin’ and screamin’ at me

I don’t understand all this hostility

Being so rude isn’t necessary

Cause in the end it’s what’s inside you

It’s all up to you what can I do?

Chorus

Wouldn’t it be nice if the world took my advice

And everybody learned to be perfectly polite

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if everybody shared
