Lemonade
When life gives you lemons
You don't eat them plain
You make lemonade
You squeeze and you strain
When life gives you lemons
You add a little something sweet
And mix it up
Into some yummy treat
When life gives you lemons
Do you get sugar too?
Or are you left on your own
Starving for food
And when life gives you lemons
They say make lemonade
But with too many lemons
I don't think I'll be okay
When life gives you lemons
A happy colored fruit
It's still hard to smile
What do I do?
When life gives you lemons
They say it'll be okay
But without any sugar
I can't make lemonade
Without any sugar
Dunno if I'll be okay
