Take It as It Comes (LP版)

Take It As It Comes (LP版) - Beth Nielsen Chapman

Rita's out on the street tonight

Drivin' through the rain

She's got lots of new reasons not to

Trust any man again

And even though she'll be alright

She'll never be the same

She'll move closer to her Mama

Let her daughter keep her Daddy's name

Sometimes you've only got one road

And it's a rocky ride

Sometimes there isn't time to think

About the tears you've cried

You take it as it comes

When you've got no way to hide

From the hurtin' inside

When there's nowhere you can really run

You take it as it comes

Rita's out on the street tonight

Midnight feels so strange

She's got her baby in the car seat

Her sleeping face flashin' as the signals change

They roll up to the corner for the seventh time

As they circle around the square

While the movie crowd is spilling

Out across the street

Rita sits at that light and stares

And she wonders if there's any

Reason in the world to try

And she glances at her little girl

And she remembers why

You take it as it comes

When you've got no way to hide

From the hurtin' inside

When there's nowhere you can really run

You take it as it comes

And one foot goes in front of the other

And one day rolls into the next

Sometimes you've got to let your heart be numb

And take it as it comes

(Rita's out on the street tonight)

When you've got no way to hide

From the hurtin' inside

When there's nowhere you can really run

You take it as it comes

(Rita's out on the street tonight)

When you've got no way to hide

From the hurtin' inside

When there's nowhere you can really run

You take it as it comes

(Rita's out on the street tonight)

When you've got no way to hide

From the hurtin' inside

When there's nowhere you can really run

You take it as it comes

(Rita's out on the street tonight)

When you've got no way to hide

From the hurtin' inside

When there's nowhere you can really run

You take it as it comes

(Rita's out on the street tonight)

When you've got no way to hide
