I ain't got no car
And I've got one pair of jeans
They've been stretched too far
And now they're weak at the seams
I can't say what's next
And I got nothin' up my sleeve
But I don't lose my head
Cause it ain't really up to me

And I'm doing just fine
I'm always landing on my feet
In the nic of time
And by the skin of my teeth
I ain't gonna stress
Cause the worst ain't happened yet
Somethings watching over me
Like Sweet Serendipity
Sweet Serendipity

I don't ask for a lot
No nothing more than I need
Because I love what I got
Don't need to play the lottery
I just want to be strong
At the end of the road
I don't want to hold on
I want the strength to let go

And I'm doing just fine
I'm always landing on my feet
In the nic of time
And by the skin of my teeth
I ain't gonna stress
Cause the worst ain't happened yet
Somethings watching over me
Like Sweet Serendipity
Sweet Serendipity

And what will be will be
In the nic of time
And by the skin of my teeth
I ain't gonna stress
Cause the worst ain't happened yet

Somethings watching over me
Like Sweet Serendipity
Sweet Serendipity
Like Sweet Serendipity

Don't look fate can only find you
You can't choose for something to surprise you
Set sail without a destination
Just see where the wind will take you
You never know when you're gonna fall
But I'm not worried
No I'm not worried

And I'm doing just fine
I'm always landing on my feet
In the nic of time
And by the skin of my teeth
I ain't gonna stress
Cause the worst ain't happened yet
Somethings watching over me
Like Sweet Serendipity
Sweet Serendipity

And I'm doing just fine
I'm always landing on my feet
In the nic of time
And by the skin of my teeth
I ain't gonna stress
Cause the worst ain't happened yet
Somethings watching over me
Like Sweet Serendipity
Sweet Serendipity
Sweet Serendipity

Don't look fate can only find you
You can't choose for something to surprise you
Set sail without a destination

Sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet
Sweet Serendipity
Sweet, sweet
Sweet, sweet
Sweet Serendipity
I don't know
Sweet Serendipity
