Life Is A Lemon (And I Want My Money Back) Lyrics

[@williamsexton3078]

I was blasting this song at age 17. I'm 42 now and had no idea how much life was a lemon back then.

[@Sassy78]

Me too!

[@rushfan003]

I still am. I heard this at 19... Late 40s now and it's still relevant.

[@Kim-gv5bw]

I'm 59,heard this song last night when suicidal and the sheer anger of the lyrics kinda kept me going.RIP Jim Steinman- The "King of Excess"!!Peace and ROCK ON!!

Truly a once in a lifetime singer, Rest in peace.

You got your money back brother, but there are millions of us fans that would pay quadruple just to have you back singing in your prime, you were one of a kind and you are truly missed!!!!

My favourite Meatloaf song what a voice can’t believe he’s not with us anymore. Thanks for all the great music RIP

[@karentoovey2065]

This song, played at full volume, is PERFECT for those days when its you vs the universe

[@loveinspired7]

AGREED! I used to blast this song through my headphones at full volume back in my weed smoking days...lol I'd just lay back, close my eyes and let the lyrics penetrate my soul. Pure "nirvana" (as in the feeling...not referring to the Rock band!).😊😜 **Thank you to, "Yes Maybe" 😁

[@lawabidingcitizen5153]

@@loveinspired7 This is Meat Loaf, not Nirvana 😜

[@loveinspired7]

@@lawabidingcitizen5153 In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have used that word. I forgot that there was a rock group called, "Nirvana"! That was NOT what I meant! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I was never much of a Cobain fan! Couldn't understand his lyrics! I meant, "nirvana" to describe how I FELT when I was listening to Meatloaf's voice, the musical composition and those amazing instruments... It was like I died and went to heaven. That's what I meant by the word, "nirvana"! 😂😂😂😂😂 I should probably change that, before someone else thinks I'm an idiot! LOL

listening to this on full volume I can kick the Universes ass.

This song needs more credit, it has powerful lyrics and the instrumental is amazing :O

[@johan11041984]

it is not because a song has everything it takes that it get the credit 4 it. there are something like recorddeals, media,... that causes that 99% off our time we listen to a crappy song of "miss X"or "pretty boy Y"

[@AnarchistPoop]

oh, shut up. The lyrics are ridiculous and it's a cynicism fest. I love the song, I think it's a good song...but it isn't a masterpiece by any means.

I heard this song for the first time when i was 13 years old....i remember thinking i really related to the lyrics and i thought it was so badass.............im 33 now, and looking back 20 years, all the shit ive come through,...only now do i truly relate to every single word of this song......i dont want to relate to this song anymore........

[@darrencarter6350]

Ditto buddy...word for word and year to year. I remember listening to this when I was around 13 and something resonated... can't explain it but this track just leapt out at me. I saw Meat Loaf in the UK and this was the opening track leading me to giving it a few listenings and the lyrics contain so much power it's difficult to not let those words sink in...dosed with the reality kick it's chastening.

[@hotdogwater7037]

thats funny

[@freddiestewart9233]

The song is so true! Awesome music with a underlining message!

[@dgiant13]

Best Meat Loaf song easily. Also one of the best rock anthems ever--mostly because every word is the truth! Mahalo for posting w/lyrics. Aloha from Hawaii.

This has to be my favorite of Meatloaf's songs. I grew up on the Bat out of Hell 1 and 2 CD's.

Nice :) guess doesn't matter which part of the world you live in, the stories can be the same. I was listening to this living in India.

Meat said that the defected lyrics are funny because it's like, is anything right in my life. I mean it's still depressing I'm not denying that. I'm just saying this before I would have known that, I would have thought " This is reeeeeeeaaaaallllllyyyy depressing. " I mean it still is but my main point and what I'm trying to get to is, I wonder if Meat and Jim were just cracking up when they heard that part. And you know how there's that one part that makes you laugh that you're still thinking about it at the end of it? I wonder if they were still laughing at it and if they were, How did y'all get through it when you performed it for the first time? 😂
