Sera Sera Jim

Melvin Van Peebles

[Verse 1]
Love, yeah you better believe it, yeah
Love, love, love
On the idiot box, in the headlines
"Go ahead, go ahead" they say
Love is a post of society
Finally you say "OK
Lady you come too broken hearted"
Swearin', it's a lot of things, right?
Anyway, like they say
Love ain't the only other in the dictionary
They got some more, right?
L like in "learn", which you never do
There are plenty others too, right?
L like in "look", like in "look down on the crowd"
Like you did when you was hangin' on your arm
L like in "letter"
Like a beat up ship left in a storm
Like I suppose you feel now that she ain't around
No, you don't have to spell it out for me, baby
Anyhow, they always say
What will be, will be
Anyhow, finish your margarita, mister
Anyhow, what can you do, anyway?
Right?

[Verse 2]
L like in "lack of imagination"
L like in "landslide"
Like what you look like you've been in
L like in "lose"
Like, well, who's tellin' who?
L like in "learn", which I said
But you never do
I've been down that road a couple of times, too
Anyhow, they're always sayin'
What will be, will be
Anyhow, work on your steamer, mister
Anyhow, what can you do, anyway?
Right?

[Verse 3]
L like in "line"
Not the fishin' kind, another
What's this world comin' to
If you can't believe in nothin'?
L like in "Leiutenant", like in solider
That would be too nice
A war without pain, I suppose
I paid them dues too, god knows
Anyhow, they're always sayin'
What will be, will be
Anyhow, don't let your
Vodka get lonesome, mister
Anyhow, what can you do, anyway?
Right?

[Verse 4]
I know, I know
The chicks all left around 3 in the morning
I know, I know
The sun pushin' down, makin' things grow
I know, I know
The silence in the dawn
When a cargo has passed
I know, I know
Talkin' about the dawn, mister
It's about that time, you know
It was about that time a couple of hours ago
Come on mister, drink your coffee
Anyhow, what can you do, anyway?
Like the man said
What will be, will be
About the only time he tells the truth, too
About the only time the man ever spoke
Without forked tounge, anyway
Sera sera, Jim
