Your smile was so disarming

You'd better mind your own affair

Picking up the pieces

Of a life that shone in tatters

You're gonna come back if you dare



Ain't it always the way

You get just one chance

Ain't it always the way

Ain;t it always the way



Better learn to mind your business

(watch out for your own)

Sail your boat on placid bays

You'd better learn to keep the big

train on the straight and narrow

Let the first mate cast away



Then along comes the say

Then along comes the day



Be a winner

A dead ringer for the truth

Will the circle be unbroke

Be a master of your destiny

This is not a joke
