i got tired of all my friends
the psychodrama never ends
i never thought in all my life
that i would be somebody's wife
i thought i'd spend it on the road
traveling from show to show

you never know
no, you can never know where life is taking you 
don't let it break you down
because you never know

looking back it seems so strange
that i thought things could never change
when all the time the world went by
and i could not be satisfied
always wanting something more
always waiting by the door
i never thought to step inside
but it was always open wide

you never know
no, you can never know where life is taking you
don't let it break you down
because you never know

if expectations hold you down
your feet might never touch the ground
and good things come to those you hate
while you hold back and hesitate
the old cliches are trite and true
and you don't know what's good for you
just take it one day at a time
and everything will be just fine

you never know
no, you can never know where life is taking you
don't let it break you down
because you never know
