Lyrics
WOULDA COULDA SHOULDA
Don't put off tomorrow what you can do today...
Yes you can do anything that you want to do.
Life is your right, it comes with a price,
A little sweat and sacrifice.
If you want a chance, you got to take the chance.
Reach for the sky, reach deep inside,
Find your wings and fly.
Can't live your life on wishes.
It don't work that way.
Don't put off tomorrow
What you can do today.
Woulda coulda shoulda
Don't wait till it's too late.
What you give is what you get.
Life is what you make it, don't you ever forget.
Woulda coulda shoulda
This day could be your last.
Said you woulda done this, coulda done that,
You woulda coulda shoulda, but you didn't do that.
You just can't wait for another lifetime.
No way, no how...all we have is now.
That's all we are allowed.
You gotta walk just like you talk it.
Don't be afraid, you can make the grade.
That's when dues get paid.
You can't tell which way the train went
By looking at the tracks.
Put your best foot forward
And never look back.
