CHORUS
It’s no big deal, didn’t mean that much to me
It’s no big deal, plenty more fish in the sea
Life’s a game, you get a roll of the dice and a spin of the wheel
Some you win, some you lose, like I say, it ain’t no big deal
So what I dropped my favourite guitar upon the hard kitchen floor
No wishing’s gonna turn back the clock to that moment before
On the top now there’s a crack in the wood that’s pretty hard to ignore
But I don’t mind ‘cause she still plays pretty good, that’s what a guitar is for
CHORUS
It’s no big deal, didn’t mean that much to me
It’s no big deal, plenty more fish in the sea
Life’s a game, you get a roll of the dice and a spin of the wheel
Some you win, some you lose, like I say, it ain’t no big deal
So what my girl has left me and I’m spending every night on my own
She’d no way of knowing, did I want her to stay or did I want her to go
We’re all ships upon the ocean and this motion’s just the ebb and the flow
But in truth you know I couldn’t care less, so let’s get on with the show
CHORUS
It’s no big deal, didn’t mean that much to me
It’s no big deal, plenty more fish in the sea
Life’s a game, you get a roll of the dice and a spin of the wheel
Some you win, some you lose, like I say, it ain’t no big deal
INSTR.
BRIDGE
I’m not too concerned with what fate’s in store for me
Sing Que Sera Sera, what will be will be
There might be days when I’m not quite sure how I feel
It helps to tell myself it ain’t no big deal
So what that some things didn’t work out, it ain’t no disgrace
For the little that I ever got right I made my share of mistakes
One minute I’m ahead and then the next I’m behind so I don’t make it a race
I meet with triumph and disaster with the same smile on my face
CHORUS
It’s no big deal, didn’t mean that much to me
It’s no big deal, plenty more fish in the sea
Life’s a game, you get a roll of the dice and a spin of the wheel
Some you win, some you lose, like I say, it ain’t no big deal
Some you win, some you lose, like I say, it ain’t no big deal
