You had it so good for so long

You thought you were so very strong

You had too much glory

Just a little too much, too soon



You thought you could never be wrong

You would always buy your songs

What a sad, sad story

It's an age-old story



Every man will get his chance

To play the fool

Every time he takes a chance

And thinks he's cool



Sonny think twice

Before you close the door

Take my advice

Your love can't take much more

Something about your life is wrong

When the lady who loves you more is gone



And you don't know what to do

When it all comes down to you



You feel so afraid to be loved

Because you see too much

What a sad, sad story

But you brought it upon yourself



You gave it all up for fun

Now you got nowhere to run

With your sad, sad story

It's an age-old story



Every man will get his chance

To play the fool

Every time he takes his chances

And thinks he's cool

(Not to be alone)



Sonny think twice

Before you close the door

Take my advice

Your love can't take much more

Something about your life is wrong

When the lady who loves you more is gone

Sonny think twice



And you don't know what to do

When it all comes down to you



Don't think that she don't care

About your Saturday night affair

And you better watch out

Somebody is gonna be there



Sonny think twice

Before you close the door, whoa, oh

Take my advice

Your love can't take much more

Something about your life is wrong

When the lady who loves you more is gone



Sonny think twice

Before you close the door, ooh

Take my advice

Your love can't take much more

Something about your life is wrong

When the lady who loves you more is gone



Sonny think twice

Before you close the door, ooh

Take my advice

Your love can't take much more

Something about your life is wrong

When the lady who loves you more is gone
