Facts of Life

Theme songs from 80's TV shows are stuck in my head.  From time to time they creep back up, and all I can hear in my head is the same song over and over again. It leaves me feeling happy to a degree because I recall memories from when I was a kid.  Today, I started singing the theme song to the show, "The Facts of Life."  The words are great:
You take the good, you take the bad, 
you take them both and there you have 
The Facts of Life, the Facts of Life. 

There's a time you got to go and show 
You're growin' now you know about 
The Facts of Life, the Facts of Life. 

When the world never seems 
to be livin up to your dreams 
And suddenly you're finding out 
the Facts of Life are all about you, you. 

It takes a lot to get 'em right 
When you're learning the Facts of Life. (learning the Facts of Life) 
Learning the Facts of Life (learning the Facts of Life) 
Learning the Facts of Life. 

End Credits 
You'll avoid a lot of damages 
an enjoy the fun of managing 
the facts of life; 
they shed a lot of light 
If you hear them from your brother, 
better clear them with your mother 
better get them right, 
call her late at night 

You got the future in the palm of your hands 
all you gotta do to get you through is understand 
you think you rather do without, 
you will never make without the truth 
the facts of life is all about you
