Ain't Necessarily So

[Verse 1] You can't break your eggs to count your chickens And you can't break your neck to keep your ducks all in a row But don't think every chance you take has to mean a new mistake It ain't necessarily so [Verse 2] Now depending on the soil and the season You can plant a seed and you can watch it grow But you can't have a guarantee because everything that ought to be Ain't necessarily so [Chorus] I laugh when I can, I live with the rest I learned that holdin' on means lettin' go I try to be a friend to the person on my left They say you just can't be too careful who you know But that ain't necessarily so [Verse 3] I'd like to have more faith in human logic Basin' all the rules on the proof that you can show But I can't take my guesses back that I based on all those facts That ain't necessarily so [Verse 4] And every time I follow what I'm feeling I end up in the same place my heart would have me go If there's one rule of life I trust, it's everything outside your gut Ain't necessarily so [Chorus] I laugh when I can and I live with the rest I learned that holding on means lettin' go I try to be a friend to the person on my left They say you just can't be too careful who you know But that ain't necessarily so I laugh when I can and I live with the rest I learned that holding on means lettin' go I try to be a friend to the person on my left They say you just can't be too careful who you know But that ain't necessarily so
