"Don't Try So Hard"

.

If you're searching out for something

.

Don't try so hard

.

If you're feeling kinda nothing -

.

Don't try so hard

.

When your problems seem like mountains

.

You feel the need to find some answers

.

You can leave them for another day

.

Don't try so hard

. But if you fall and take a tumble -

. It won't be far

. If you fail you mustn't grumble -

. Thank your lucky stars

. Just savour every mouthful

. And treasure every moment

. When the storms are raging round you

. Stay right where you are

. Don't try so hard

. Oooh don't take it all to heart

. It's only fools they make these rules

. Don't try so hard

. One day you'll be a sergeant major

. Oh you'll be so proud

. Screaming out your bloody orders

. Hey but not too loud

. Polish all your shiny buttons

. Dressed as lamb instead of mutton

. But you never had to try

. To stand out from the crowd

. Oh what a beautiful world

. Is this the life for me

. Oh what a beautiful world

. It's the simple life for me

. Oh don't try so hard

. Oh don't take it all to heart

. It's only fools - they make these rules

. Don't try so hard

. Don't try so hard
