I was once sitting on top of the world

I really had things in my hand

But something went wrong I'm not sure what

And now I'm sitting here at home alone

People they want to give you free advice

Well that's something that I always try

But you get what you pay for that's what I say

And now I'm paying and paying and paying

I lost everything I had

I'm starting over from scratch

I lost everything I had

I'm starting 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 starting over from scratch

I lost everything I had

I'm starting over from scratch

It's just a fact (?)

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 in this world

I lost everything I had

I'm starting over from scratch

I lost everything I had

I'm starting over from scratch
