| This is the way I am: it’s not a pose, it’s not a phase
|
| It’s not because I took a wrong turn somewhere in the maze
|
| I’d be OK to stay this way until the end of days
|
| But say the word and I will change my ways
|
| The only game I play is devil’s advocate to win
|
| I’m only looking out for number one from here on in
|
| And number one is not the one to go out in a blaze
|
| But give the sign and I will change my ways
|
| And this time I won’t tell the tale or sell my soul to seal a sale
|
| Or leave my love to live alone no more
|
| Or jump ship in the panic like a rat on the Titanic
|
| When we turn the stern and raise the sail for shore
|
| I’ll keep the candle burning learning how to earn your praise
|
| You’ll even see me ready for a steady job that pays
|
| I speak the language but I can’t stop talking in clichés
|
| Take me back and I will change my ways
|
| Oh take me back and I will change my ways!
|
| And this time I won’t tell the tale or sell my soul to seal a sale
|
| Or leave my love to live alone no more
|
| Or jump ship in the panic like a rat on the Titanic
|
| When we turn the stern and raise the sail for shore
|
| I’ll keep the candle burning learning how to earn your praise
|
| You’ll even see me ready for a steady job that pays
|
| I speak the language but I can’t stop talking in clichés
|
| Take me back and I will change my ways
|
| Oh, I wouldn’t do this for anybody else but you
|
| Now ain’t it strange
|
| Take me back and I will change my ways |
