    I’m (11) __________ but I'm (12) __________, baby

    What it all comes down to


    Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine

    And the other one is giving a high five

    I feel (13) _________ but I'm (14) _________, I'm (15) _________ and I'm (16) _________

    I'm (19) __________ and I'm sorry baby

    What it all comes down to


    Is that everything is going to be quite alright
    'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
    And the other one is flicking a cigarette

    What it all comes down to


    Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
    'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
    And the other one is giving a peace sign

    I'm (20) __________ but I'm (21) __________, I'm (22) _________ but I’m (23) _________
    I'm (24) __________ but I'm (25) __________, baby

    I'm (28) __________ but I'm (29) __________, baby

    And what it all boils down to


    Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
    I've got one hand in my pocket
    And the other one is playing the piano

    And what it all comes down to, my friends, yeah


    Is that everything is just (30) __________ fine fine
    I've got one hand in my pocket
    And the other one is hailing a taxi cab
