Was It All Worth It (Original Take) Lyrics

OK, let's take this one, yeah?
No-no-no I don't start it, you start, that 3rd

One, two, three (four)
Come on, One, Two, Three (four)

[Verse 1]
What is there left for me to do in this life
Did I achieve what I set out to do, my sights
Am I a happy man or this sinking sand
Was it all worth it, was it all worth it

[Verse 2]
Yeah; let me tell you about it
Ha, let me tell you the story
We bought a drum kit
I blew on my trumpet
Played the circuit, thought we were perfect

[Chorus 1]
Was it all worth it
Ooh, giving all my heart and soul
Working day and night
Was it all worth it
Living, breathing rock and roll, the good times and the fights
Was it all worth it, was it all worth it
Ooh, all these years
[Verse 3]
Put down our money without counting thе cost
It didn't matter if we won, if we lost
Yеs, we all loved it
Yes, we could kill
Yes, we were hungry
Yes, we were brill

[Verse 4]
Look out! Look out for the show
We served a purpose, like a bloody circus
We were so dandy, we love you madly

[Chorus 2]
Was it all worth it
Ooh, giving all my heart and soul
Staying up all night
Was it all worth it
(yeah) Working off our skin and bone
Staying up to a fight
Was it all worth it, was it all worth it
All these years, when the hurly-burly starts

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 5]
Giving all my heart and soul
Staying up all night
Was it all worth it
Living breathing rock and roll
This never-ending fight
Was it all worth it, was it all worth it
[Outro]
Ooh, yes! it was a worthwhile experience
Let me tell you
It was worth it! yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
