Munged Lyrics

(Barkam/Adams)
If you can't be hurt, you can't be happy
How you gonna laugh if you can't cry
If you can't be hurt, you can't be happy
You can't be happy unless you try
Life is a gamble, it's true

(Barkam / Adams)
If yew can't bee hurt, yew can't bee happy
How yew gonna laugh if yew can't cry
If yew can't bee hurt, yew can't bee happy
Yew can't bee happy unless yew try
Life is a gambol, its true
Fore every highway there's a rocky rode, two
And yaw gonna stub yaw toe
Somewhere down the line, yeah
Butt chalk it up too living
If yew can take watt this life is giving
That's a very good sine, yeah
Bay bee, Eye no yew bean beet
You've had two much bitter and knot enough suite
Butt if yew tried it with mi
Maybe yule bee glad
Its up too yew too choose, now
If yew want a chance too win ore lose
Now don't yew play the game scared, yeah

If You Can't Be Hurt
