I Didn't Get Where I Am Today |
| It’s made me feel so sad |
| And brought it home to me once more |
| I want what I cannot have |
| When you can’t get what you want |
| You still have all the rest |
| But isn’t it sad to settle for second-best? |
| I’ve been waiting at home |
| For someone to phone |
| I didn’t get where I am today |
| Without living that old cliche |
| I’ve been lying in bed |
| The sheets over my head |
| I didn’t get where I am today |
| Without giving up in dismay |
| Hey hey hey |
| Told everyone I’m over it |
| I’ve quit this cul-de-sac |
| But just when I thought |
| I’d lost it for good |
| That feeling comes right back |
| When you can’t get what you want |
| You wear your bravest face |
| But deep inside you’re sinking without a trace |
| I’ve been called repressed |
| A poet, a pest |
| I didn’t get where I am today |
| Without getting in someone’s way |
| I live my life on a stage |
| Put it down on the page |
| I didn’t get where I am today |
| Without writing a resume |
| I didn’t get where I am today |
| Hey hey hey |
| Hey hey hey |
| I didn’t get where I am today |
| I didn’t get where I am today |
| I’ve explored situations |
| Hey hey hey |
| The themes and variations |
| Hey hey hey |
| I didn’t get where I am today |
| Without losing it on the way |
| On the Street of Shame |
| Hey hey hey |
| Looking for someone to blame |
| Hey hey hey |
| I didn’t get where I am today |
| Without leaving in disarray |
| I didn’t get where I am today |
| Hey hey hey |
