I was once sittin' on top of the world
I really had things in my hands
But something went wrong I'm not sure what
And now I'm sittin' here at home alone

People - They want to give you free advice
And that's something that I've always tried
But you get what you pay for that's what I say
And now I'm payin' and payin' and payin'

I lost everything I had
I'm startin' over from scratch
I lost everything I had
I'm startin' over from scratch

Everything I wanted cooking on the stove
Everything I needed right in the home
I had the best thing you can have
You can have it, you can have it now

I lost everything I had
I'm startin' over from scratch
I lost everything I had
I'm startin' over from scratch

Wiped that smile off my face
Put me down in my proper place
But the world just keeps on spinning around
And I'm still hanging around this world

I lost everything I had
I'm startin' over from scratch
I lost everything I had
I'm startin' over from scratch
