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
