Cross your fingers say you're on high
Pretend you're in den and see what life brings
But always taking things as they come
Tends to make you forget to put anything in
The longer you dwell
The more it's like hell
You sit by the well
Just making a wish
It would be a shame
To take too much blame
Look we're all the same
It's only a game
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Did I just catch you laughing
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Forward where the knocks are hardest
Some to failure some to fame
Never mind the cheers or hooting
Keep your head and play the game
Try to keep your feet on the ground
Without getting them stuck in the mud
You will soon be over the moon
Or twice as hot as the sun
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Did I just catch you laughing
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
So cross your fingers say you're on high
Pretend your in den and see what life brings
But all this taking things as they come
Tends to make you forget to put anything in
The longer you dwell
The more it's like hell
You sit by the well
Just making a wish
To make it plain
I'll say it again
We're all the same
It's only a game
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Did I just catch you laughing
Ackee 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Someone just smiled for no special reason
It looks like the smile's come back into season
It's so easy
It doesn't have to be a nice day
Just the only one you've got and it's coming ready or not
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
Ackee 1 2 1 2 3
