AMPHABIAN – “Can’t Stand It” – Lyrics
You know I always thought I could take
Every piece of the cake
But now, I know
This just isn’t so
Just when I think that I have some time
I always end up losing my mind
It just seems
I never can end up ahead
‘Cause just when I think I’ve got a grip on my life
It slips through my fingers like water
I start, over again
I grab what I can
And run like the wind
Then start all over again (all over again)
And, I can’t stand it
Every time I try to make ends meet
I always end up deeper in heat
It just seems, I know
And I can’t stand it
‘Cause just when I think I’ve got a grip on my life
It slips through my fingers like water
I start, over again
Grab what I can
And run like the wind
Then start all over again (all over again)
And, I can’t stand it
Every time I think I’ve passed a test
I never end up doing my best
But I know, yes, I know
It’s only mind over matter
‘Cause just when I think I’ve got a grip on my life
It slips through my fingers like water
I start, over again
Grab what I can
Run like the wind
Then start all over again (all over again)
And, I can’t stand it
Now that I can see
Just what it all means to me
I know, yes, I know
That I can’t stand it
‘Cause just when I think I’ve got a grip on my life
It slips through my fingers like water
I start, over again
I grab what I can
Run like the wind
Then start all over again (all over again)
And, I can’t stand it
No, no
I can’t stand it
Wah-oh (wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh)
Wah-ha-ho-oh-oh
Wah-oh (wah-oh, wah-oh, wah-oh)
Wah-ha-ho-oh-oh
‘Cause just when I think I’ve got a grip on my life
It slips through my fingers like water
I start, over again
I grab what I can
And run like the wind
Then start all over again (all over again)
And, I can’t stand it
No, no
I can’t stand it
Wah-oh
