| You learned your lessons rather early in life
|
| From those who have and who have not
|
| You made your fortune mister, that ain’t no lie
|
| But there’s one thing you forgot
|
| You got a woman she’s waiting at home
|
| She’s alone most every night
|
| If you want her, she’ll go out on the road
|
| But you knows she don’t feel right
|
| You are a prisoner, your dreams have chained you
|
| A slave onto yourself, with stock in time gone by
|
| And time leaves little else
|
| Your fate is nothing new
|
| Whatcha gonna do
|
| Your hopes are dangling, dear, your head’s in a whirl
|
| And now you only hurt yourself
|
| You can be most anything you want in my world
|
| But you live for someone else
|
| Now disillusionment has changed your resound
|
| He’s hurt your feelings and your pride
|
| Its in the open now you want to back down
|
| But there’s no place left to hide
|
| You are a prisoner, your dreams have chained you
|
| A slave onto yourself
|
| With stock and time gone by
|
| And time leaves little else
|
| Your fate is nothing new
|
| Whatcha gonna do
|
| We were talking on the phone yesterday
|
| And how you wanted me to come
|
| I would gladly take you any old way
|
| But its not so easily done
|
| You see I’m struggling with this fix of my own
|
| And it makes me what I am
|
| As we get older baby, one never knows
|
| But we do the best we can
|
| I am a prisoner, my dreams have chained me
|
| A slave onto myself
|
| With stock in tiome gone by
|
| And time leaves little else
|
| My fate is nothing new
|
| Whatcha gonna do
|
| Whatcha gonna do when dreams have chained you
|
| A slave onto yourself
|
| With stock and time gone by
|
| And time leaves little else
|
| Your fate is nothing new
|
| Whatcha gonna do |
