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
