I coulda been a contender
But now I understand
There's no life worth much living
Gone as planned
But what makes me happy
What truly brings me joy
Is precisely beside the point, yo
Cuz the fruits of my sorrows are
The sweetest I could find
And their peak of season
Runs 'bout any old time
If it's making me hungry
Then it's making me sing, yeah
It's a divine blessing
I'm never gonna be king, no
Sure don't even wannabe king right now
Cuz I'm just fine keeping my lowdown, yeah
I'm better off keeping my lowdown
Yeah what makes me happy
What truly brings me joy
Is precisely beside the point
Cuz the fruits of my sorrows are
The sweetest I have found
And their peak of season runs 'bout all year round
If it's making me hungry
Then it's making me sing, yeah
It's a divine blessing
I'm never ever gonna be king, no
And I sure don't even wannabe king right now
Cuz I'm just fine keeping my lowdown, yeah
I'm better off keeping my lowdown
It's just a natural thing
I'm keeping my lowdown now
And I don't ever wannabe king
It's making me hungry
But it's making me sing
That's why I'm keeping my lowdown
I'm just fine keeping my lowdown.
I coulda been a contender
But now I understand
There's no life worth much living
Gone as planned, no
