You don't need to be afraid those hesitations of the past.

Your best selling paperback, the ugly duckling has the last laugh.

Everybody's got a fighting chance

Cos I've spent years looking back

Got me nowhere got me nowhere.

While the wind caught your hair

Yes the wind caught your hair

Do do do do do do....

Darling no more empty words

They're just hurtful and misleading

Can't you see that?

Darling no more empty words, they're just hurtful and misleaiding

Can't you see that?

So you threw it all away.

But you're worth the whole damn lot of them

But this morning something changed.

I saw my life stretched over plains

And everybody had a fighting chance

While I spent years looking back

Got me nowhere got me nowhere

While the wind caught your hair, yes the wind caught your hair

Do do do do do do do do do do do do

Darling no more empty words

They're just hurtful and misleading

Can't you see that?

Darling no more empty words

They're just hurtful and misleading

Can't you see that?

Do do do do....

Someday I'll rise up again and try to make something in my life

It's not too late

Darling no more empty words

They're just hurtful and misleading

Can't you see that?
