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
