Some people suffer all their lives never really happy
Expressing empathy for those who endure lifelong unhappiness despite their efforts.
No matter what they try

I think we're lucky with what we got

And I don't believe we're fooling around
Expressing disbelief in engaging in frivolous or insincere behavior.
I don't believe you're putting me down
Rejecting the notion of being criticized or insulted.

It ain't so bad
Asserting that their life is not bad overall.
We never really fight
