But it was Gcold in that water, it was Acold
It was Gcold in that water, so Dcold
[Verse 2]
DI took the eleGvator
DSixteen floors above the Gground
DI thought about my Gbaby
And thought I would jump Ddown

DI stood there and I Ghollered
DI stood there and I Gcried
If it Dhadn't have been so high
GI might've jumped and Ddied

Though you may see me Gcry
I'll be Ddogged, sweet baby
If Gyou’re gonna see me Ddie
[Chorus]
Life is Gfine, fine as Awine
Life is GfineD
