Olivia Newton-John It's Not Heaven lyrics

Here's your lunch money
You better hurry for the old school bus
Did you clean your teeth this mornin'?
I know you hate it when I start to fuss

Here's the letter for your teacher
Your dinner's in the freezer, five minutes
In the microwave, don't wait for me
This evenin', I'm probably workin' late

Your dad is comin' over with his new lover
And I don't wanna be around
So I'm gonna do some shoppin', I'll buy you
Those stocking's, I'll be back in half an hour

Oh, it's my anticipation, there'd be a confrontation
I know how much it breaks your heart
Let's be pleased for him, he's tryin'
To make a brand new start

It's not heaven but it's all we've got
You have to understand it
I wanted Ozzie and Harriet
With a picket fence around it

But that was all an illusion
Now, we're living in reality
But we're gonna have a
Happy ending, you and me

We'll spend the weekend playin', I hope
It won't be rainin' when we go to the game with Dan
I know you think he's borin' but this time
Don't ignore him, won't you give him half a chance?


No, he's not as fun as dad but there's good
As well as bad in hangin' on to yesterday
I'm not tryin' to replace him
Guess I'm really tryin' to say

It's not heaven but it's all we've got
You have to understand it
I wanted Ozzie and Harriet
With a picket fence around it

But that was all an illusion
Now, we're living in reality
But we're gonna have a
Happy ending, you and me

Together I know we'll survive
Rebuild our lives together, one day at a time

It's not heaven but it's all we've got
It's not the way I planned it
I wanted Ozzie and Harriet
With a picket fence around it

But that was all an illusion
Now, we're livin' in reality
But there's gonna be a
Happy ending, wait and see

Yes, there's gonna be a
Happy ending, for you and me

You better hurry for the old school bus
