Ain't necessarily so You can break your eggs to count your chickens And you can break your neck to keep your ducks all in a row But don't think every chance you take Has to mean a new mistake It ain't necessarily so Now depending on the soil and the season You can plant a seed and you can watch it grow But you can't have a guarantee, Cause everything that ought to be ain't necessarily so CHORUS I laugh when I can I live with the rest I learn that holding on means letting go I try to be a friend To the person on my left They say you just can't be too careful who you know But that ain't necessarily so SOLO I'd like to have more faith in human logic Basing all the rules on the proof that you could show But I can't take my guesses back That I based on all those facts That ain't necessarily so And every time I follow what I'm feeling I end up in the same place my heart would have me go If there's one rule of life I trust It's everything outside your gut ain't necessarily so CHORUS (2x) I laugh when I can I live with the rest I learn that holding on means letting go I try to be a friend To the person on my left They say you just can't be too careful who you know But that ain't necessarily so
