What's a boy to do, when fate is cruel? Keep on keepin' on try to bend the rules I'll do anything to find a way to your heart I got a rabbit's foot but luck don't come Got my fingers crossed and they go numb, I can hold my breath and wish for you I need a miracle to make it true Life is hard, I need a remedy For the way I feel My bread keeps landing jam side down Say you'll be there to spread love around I was sweet on you that's how I felt Got a butter heart, you made it melt Like a big eyed kid in a candy store I had a little sugar now I want some more Life is hard, I need a remedy For the way I feel My bread keeps landing jam side down Say you'll be there to spread love around My bread keeps landing jam side down Say you'll be there to spread love around You are my destiny you Bring out the best in me you You made me feel so lucky So lucky to have you And I need you Yeah I need you Life is hard, I need a remedy For the way I feel My bread keeps landing jam side down Say you'll be there to spread love around Life is hard, I need a remedy For the way I feel My bread keeps landing jam side down Say you'll be there to spread love around My bread keeps landing jam side down Say you'll be there to spread love around
