Well I don't tell jokes

And I don't take notes

You been sayin there ain't much hope

You got nothin on me



I got friends uptown

And they don't talk down

They been keepin me safe and sound

We got somethin to be



So in case you hadn't noticed

I'm alright

Not like I was before

Things used to be so hopeless

But not tonight

Tonight I'm walkin out that door



I'm not gonna cry

I'm wavin goodbye

And I know this time

You got nothin on me



Well it ain't that tough

Just more of the usual stuff

One heartache is more than enough

There ain't nothin to see



I got friends uptown

And they still come 'round

They been keepin me safe and sound

We got somethin to be



So don't you try to save me

With your advice

Or turn me into somebody else

Cuz I'm not crazy and you're not nice

Baby keep it to yourself



I'm not gonna cry

And I'm wavin goodbye

And I know this time

You got nothin on me
