Labi Siffre - So What! Lyrics

Labi Siffre Lyrics

"So What!"

So what you don't believe in make believe
So what you don't believe in life
But you don't want to leave

I'm here and I'm all alone
You're there but you're so tall you just can't see me

You wanna be good
You wanna be right
You wanna be so nice

You wanna have fun
And be number one
You wanna be alright

But what about me
Or somebody like me?
It's gonna be so hard

It isn't enough to say that it's life
You gotta be part
What you gonna do?

So what you don't believe in time of day
So what this is more than just a while away

So what if it hurts well that's understood
So what if it's roses all the way
Well it's just no good

You wanna be good
You wanna be right
You wanna be so nice

You wanna have fun
And be number one
You wanna be alright

But what about me
Or somebody like me?
It's gonna be so hard

It isn't enough to say that it's life
You gotta be part

We know that you don't mean no harm
But can you see that you're doing it wrong?
It's so easy to say it won't change
But believe me
You've got to believe
Believe me
You've got to believe

Another day in London Town
A lonely man decides
To end his life in London Town
No one to say goodbye
Why worry at all?
Why worry we're all about to fall

Before you're born
Nobody asks you
Nobody asks you
Do you want to be born?
That's the way it goes
Just gotta learn how to land on your toes

The moment you're born
Somebody hits you
Somebody shows you what it's all about
First you have to cry
When you find love you'll learn the reason why

What's your name to the right for love
What's your name to the left for love
What's your name straight ahead for love
What's your name turn around for love
Forget your name it's alright to love
We're glad you came we all need your love

So what you don't believe in make believe
So what you don't believe in life
But you just can't leave

You wanna be good
You wanna be right
You wanna be so nice

You wanna have fun
And be number one
You wanna be alright

But what about me
Or somebody like me?
It's gonna be so hard

It isn't enough to say that it's life
You gotta be part

We know that you don't mean no harm
But can you see that you're doing it wrong?
It's so easy to say it won't change
But believe me
You've got to believe
Got to believe
