From the recording Upbeat!

When life has plans for you, and you have plans, guess which plans have their way? I guess we need to negotiate with chance at all times!

Lyrics

Life has other plans for you, life has other plans
Sometimes no matter what you do it isn't in your hands
Some roads lead you to Easy Street, and others to the Burning Sands
You never know, so go with the flow, cause life has other plans.

About to take my first plane trip, I hurried to the gate
But they had overbooked the flight & said I had to wait
There was another passenger that missed the flight that day, now
She & I crisscross the sky & work for Mary Kaye!

My social life was zero after Joe and I broke up
So I turned to the want ads to try to perk things up
A chess player who loves cartoons - how perfect can you get?
Well, he hadn't changed, ole Joe's the same, and we're together yet!

I never paid astrology much credence in my day
Until I read the words, "Good news or $'s on the way."
The $1000 I brought home created quite a stir, but
I'd read my sister's by mistake, I gave it all to her.

How many writers take their inspiration from the street?
How many people meet their best friends
stepping on their feet?
& how could I have ever guessed
I'd visit other lands?
So don't get shocked if the boat gets rocked cause
life has other plans
