[Verse 1]
Don't know what I'm doing here
I'll carry on regardless
Got enough money for one more beer
I'll carry on regardless

Good as gold, but stupid as mud
He'll carry on regardless
They'll bleed his heart till there's no more blood
But carry on regardless

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Carry on with laugh
Carry on with cry
Carry on with brown under moonlit sky

[Chorus]
I want my love, my joy
My laugh, my smile, my needs
Not in the star signs
Or the palm that she reads

I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept
Ingrid Bergman kiss
Not in the next life;
I want it in this, I want it in this
[Verse 2]
Got one note to last all week
I'll carry on regardless
The hill to happiness is far too steep
I'll carry on regardless

Dried his mouth in the Memphis sun
He carried on regardless
Tried to smile and he bit his tongue
But carried on regardless

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Carry on with work
Carry on with love
Carry on with cheering, anything above

[Chorus]
I want my love, my joy
My laugh, my smile, my needs
Not in the star signs
Or the palm that she reads

I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept
Ingrid Bergman kiss
Not in the next life;
I'll have it in this, I'll have it in this
[Verse 3]
I don't want silver, I just want gold
Carry on regardless
Bronze is for the sick and the old
But carry on regardless

[Chorus]
I want my love, my joy
My laugh, my smile, my needs
Not in the star signs
Or the palm that she reads

I want my sun-drenched, wind-swept
Ingrid Bergman kiss
Not in the next life;
I'll have it in this, I'll have it in this
