seen a lot of good times in my life
times when everything went so right
seen a lot of things go wrong and I just don't know why
I've seen a lot of good times m my life

had a bit of sadness in my life
friend of mine went down the other night
tried to sort it out but now I just don't know why
I've had a bit of sadness in my life

you see I am a lonely, lonely, man
and what I got, I got together with my own two hands
and I wonder what am I gonna do to put things right
I've seen a lot of good times in my life

I've taken lots of chances in my life
now one of them has changed me overnight
I've seen a glimpse of the other side
the lights are much too bright
I've taken lots of chances with my life

I gotta do something with my life
gotta make a change and put up a fight
stand on my own two feet and do it right
I gotta do something with my life
