0:00The taxman came knockin' on my door
0:41I said I already gave he said he wanted some more
0:46Then my house burned down on a hot summer day
0:50When I saw the smoke clear didn't know what to say
0:55But come what may I guess I'll be ok
0:59I can't complain
1:04Got me a broken leg actin' like a fool
1:09Jumped off my balcony and missed the pool
1:13Now my doctor's tellin' me that I'm eatin' too much fat
1:17Sayin' high cholesterol just ain't where it's at
1:22They ask me any day tell you what I say
1:26I can't complain
1:32My car's a lemom now it's just broken down
1:36For the 100th time I can't get across town
1:40I never got invited to a Grammy show
1:44If my luck ever changes I really don't know
1:49Ask me any day tell you what I say
1:53I can't complain
1:55I can't complain
1:57I can't complain no no
2:57It's how you look at it your attitude
3:01You can't get through life without gratitude
3:05You can always make a list of what's going wrong
3:10But your list of blessings will be 2 as long
3:15Don't know if this song will ever make the chart
3:19Don't know what machines are gonna fall apart
3:24But I know for certain I can talk about the blues
3:28One thing's for sure you know I paid my dues
3:33Ask me any day tell you what I say
3:37I can't complain
3:39I can't complain
3:41I can't complain no no
The taxman came knockin' on my door I said I already gave he said he wanted some more Then my house burned down on a hot summer day When I saw the smoke clear didn't know what to say But come what may I guess I'll be ok I can't complain Got me a broken leg actin' like a fool Jumped off my balcony and missed the pool Now my doctor's tellin' me that I'm eatin' too much fat Sayin' high cholesterol just ain't where it's at They ask me any day tell you what I say I can't complain My car's a lemom now it's just broken down For the 100th time I can't get across town I never got invited to a Grammy show If my luck ever changes I really don't know Ask me any day tell you what I say I can't complain I can't complain I can't complain no no It's how you look at it your attitude You can't get through life without gratitude You can always make a list of what's going wrong But your list of blessings will be 2 as long Don't know if this song will ever make the chart Don't know what machines are gonna fall apart But I know for certain I can talk about the blues One thing's for sure you know I paid my dues Ask me any day tell you what I say I can't complain I can't complain I can't complain no no
