[Intro]

I make it up as I go

I make it up as I go


[Verse 1]

Does it look like I've got everything under control?

I'm good at faking it

The ice is getting thin but I'm the only one who knows

I'm only making it up on the way

Just play it cool and take it day by day

Do what I can and if they ask me, I say

"Hey no big deal, I got it all worked out"


[Chorus]

I've got a little confession

I don't know what I'm doing

But if you want, you can play along

Maybe I'll wake to find that I went and blew it

But 'til I do, I'll keep going strong

I make it up as I go, oh, oh, oh

I make it up as I go, oh, oh, oh

Still haven't gotten it wrong


[Verse 2]

Don't got no master plan, I don't got nothing at all

Please don't think less of me

The chips are in the air, I cross my fingers when they fall

And make the best of each hand I get played

Stay on my toes and take it day by day

Do what I can and if they ask me, I say

"Hey no big deal, I got it all worked out"


[Chorus]

I've got a little confession

I don't know what I'm doing

But if you want, you can play along

Maybe I'll wake to find that I went and blew it

But 'til I do, I'll keep going strong

I make it up as I go, oh, oh, oh

I make it up as I go, oh, oh, oh

Still haven't gotten it wrong


[Bridge]

And I won't stop 'til I can

See the dead end with my own eyes

I've got a lot to prove, oh

And if I do get stuck

I'll just wait for better luck

And if it never comes, I'll make it up


[Chorus]

I've got a little confession

I don't know what I'm doing

But if you want, you can play along

Maybe I'll wake to find that I went and blew it

But 'til I do, I'll keep going strong

I make it up as I go, oh, oh, oh

I make it up as I go, oh, oh, oh

Still haven't gotten it wrong


[Outro]

Going strong, I make it up, make it up

I make it up as I go, oh, oh, oh

I make it up as I go, oh, oh, oh

Still haven't gotten it wrong
