I've got money in my pocket
But not enought to count
I've got love in my heart
No one to let it out
I've got one life to live
Yet i'm livin' without
Well, i can't get this ol' world
Figured out

Well, i don't know why the sun don't shine
When you need it most --- in the wintertime
I don't know why the rain don't fall
Guess i don't know nothin' at all!

I've got a smile on my face
But there are tears in my eye
And sometimes i laugh so hard
I want to cry
I've got a home to write to
But nothin' to write home about
Well, i can't get this ol' world
Figured out

Well, i don't know why the sun don't shine
When you need it most --- in the wintertime
I don't know why the rain don't fall
Guess i don't know nothin' at all!

I've got rhythm in my walk
But two left feet
Seems when i find a partner
I lose the beat
I've got a man to run to
But sometimes i run about
I can't get this ol' world
Figured out
No, i can't get this ol' world
Figured out
