Life’s Too Short
Words and Music by
Tom Ward
SOCAN 1994

Life's too short for playin' games. Life's too short for nasty names.
Life's too short for layin' blame. Let's break free, you and me,
'Cause life's too short.

We're makin' love early Saturday,
And then it turns into another what’samatta day.
It seems no matter how we try, we always find a way to make you cry.
Hear me as I try to say,
I'm sorry for the things I mighta done,
I haven't got a clue, but hey, I'm still so sorry Hon'.
It seems we just clean up this mess to start another one.
We need to make time to have fun, 'cause...

Life's too short for playin' games. Life's too short for nasty names.
Life's too short for layin' blame. Let's break free, you and me,
'Cause life's too short.

You'd think by now I'd recognize the signs,
But Momma' never taught me how to read a woman's mind.
The clues are not the easiest for me to find.
When it hits, I'm a step or two behind.
I'll bet we're strong enough to persevere;
We'll put the good times to the front, the bad ones to the rear,
'Cause we both can recognize the love that's growin' here.
Let's shake it off; save a tear, 'cause...

Life's too short for playin' games. Life's too short for nasty names.
Life's too short for layin' blame. Let's break free, you and me,
'Cause life's too short.

The rocky road up the mountainside:
A challenge two can share.
If we can make it to the top together,
It's all downhill from there.

Life's too short for playin' games. Life's too short for nasty names.
Life's too short for layin' blame. Let's break free, you and me,
'Cause life's too short.

Life's too short!
Life's too short!
Life's too short!
