One of Life's Little Mysteries - Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers

Go to work in the morning

Try and make a buck

Do everything you’re told

And then you’re still outta luck

It’s one of life’s little mysteries

You get a little sun

You get a little rain

Get a man and a woman

You get a little pain

It’s one of life’s little mysteries

Tell me why when I try

Just as hard as I can

I end up with nothin'

Once again

You get yourself a dog

You get yourself a cat

Watch 'em chase each other

Around the laundromat

It’s one of life’s little mysteries

Tell me why when I try

Just as hard as I can

I end up with nothin'

Once again

Do all the things you should

You try to make a buck

You work a whole lifetime

You’re still out of luck

It’s one of life’s little mysteries

Little mysteries
