My life ain't what it seems

But I just don't show it all

I only show you what I want you to see

And it ain't that much you know

Inside I'm the same old mess

I got problems of my own

And that's why I probably gotta confess

It's about time that you know

I'm not a perfect man

You gotta understand

I just play the part so well And all the parts you see

I choose carefully

But backstage I'm just like you

Put one foot at a time

Got bills to pay I gotta make some money

Story of my life

Theres no such thing as an easy ride

I put one foot at a time

Got bills to pay I gotta make some money

Story of my life

Theres no such thing as an easy ride

When it's you alone with the truth you know

That shit gon’ drive you crazy

Mr macho man doing all I can

But inside I'm so damn lazy

I can't wake up right without doing a line

And I drink my liquor when I have the time

I wish I'd be what I say I'm like

But a man like me can fantasize

I'm not a perfect man

You gotta understand

I just play the part so well (so well)

And all the parts you see

I choose carefully

But backstage I'm just like you

Put one foot at a time

Got bills to pay I gotta make some money

Story of my life

Theres no such thing as an easy ride

I put one foot at a time

Got bills to pay I gotta make some money

Story of my life

Theres no such thing as a (no such thing as a)

Theres no such thing as a (no such thing as a)

Theres no such thing as an easy ride, oh yeah
