I get to the party, but I'm too late
Aku sampai di pesta, tapi aku terlambat
And I got stood up on my very first date
Dan aku ditolak di kencan pertamaku
I listen to country and everybody goes rock
Aku denger lagu country, sementara semua orang denger rock
I get to the dance floor, that's when the music stops
Aku sampai di lantai dansa, eh musiknya berhenti

It doesn't matter what I do, I just can't seem to win
Gak peduli apa yang aku lakukan, rasanya aku gak pernah menang
But here I go again
Tapi aku coba lagi

And I say
Dan aku bilang
Hey that's the story of my life
Eh, itulah cerita hidupku
I had a good plan but it didn't go right
Aku punya rencana bagus, tapi gak berjalan lancar
Oh no I'm overdrawn
Oh tidak, saldo aku minus
I check my account and the money's all gone
Aku cek rekening dan uangnya sudah habis
Why me I don't know what to think
Kenapa harus aku, aku gak tahu harus berpikir apa
I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
Akhirnya aku naik kapal, eh kapal itu tenggelam
Seems to be the story of my life
Sepertinya itulah cerita hidupku

I pick a slot machine and lose it all again
Aku main mesin slot dan kalah lagi
But when I walk away, someone else always wins
Tapi pas aku pergi, orang lain selalu menang
When she finally calls me, I forget my phone
Saat dia akhirnya meneleponku, aku malah lupa bawa ponsel
And when I'm starving, you know the kitchen's closed
Dan saat aku lapar, eh dapurnya sudah tutup

It doesn't matter what I try, it all ends the same
Gak peduli apa yang aku coba, hasilnya tetap sama
And here I go again
Dan aku coba lagi

Hey that's the story of my life
Eh, itulah cerita hidupku
I had a good plan but it didn't go right
Aku punya rencana bagus, tapi gak berjalan lancar
Oh no I'm overdrawn
Oh tidak, saldo aku minus
I check my account and the money's all gone
Aku cek rekening dan uangnya sudah habis
Why me I don't know what to think
Kenapa harus aku, aku gak tahu harus berpikir apa
I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
Akhirnya aku naik kapal, eh kapal itu tenggelam
Seems to be the story of my life
Sepertinya itulah cerita hidupku

Just when it seems like it's turnin' 'round for me
Pas rasanya semuanya mulai membaik untukku
There's always something that ends up happening
Selalu ada saja yang terjadi
I found my car but I can't find my keys
Aku menemukan mobilku, tapi kuncinya hilang

I get to the party a little too late
Aku sampai di pesta sedikit terlambat
And once again the music stops to play
Dan sekali lagi musiknya berhenti bermain

Hey that's the story of my life
Eh, itulah cerita hidupku
I had a good plan but it didn't go right
Aku punya rencana bagus, tapi gak berjalan lancar
Oh no I'm overdrawn
Oh tidak, saldo aku minus
I check my account and the money's all gone
Aku cek rekening dan uangnya sudah habis
Why me I don't know what to think
Kenapa harus aku, aku gak tahu harus berpikir apa
I finally get aboard and the whole boat sinks
Akhirnya aku naik kapal, eh kapal itu tenggelam
Seems to be the story of my life
Sepertinya itulah cerita hidupku
