What You Get Instead
Sometimes what you ask for
Is not exactly what you get
And the thing that you need the most
Is what you get instead
You may think that you're not lucky
Nothing ever goes your way
But if you see a different side
Your life begins to change
When you see a different side
Have a different point of view
Thats when it seems to all work out
And life is good to you
There comes a time in your life
When you reach a certain age
And all the things that you want
They all begin to change
Sometimes what you ask for
Is not exactly what you get
And the thing that you need the most
Is what you get instead
