I was once sit'n on top of the world I really had things in my hand But some'n went wrong I'm not sure what And now I'm sit'n here at home alone People they wanna give you free advice Well that's some'n that I always try But you get what you pay for that's what I say And now I'm pay'n and pay'n and pay'n
I lost everything I had I'm start'n over from scratch I lost everything I had I'm start'n over from scratch
Everything I wanted cook'n 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 start'n over from scratch I lost everything I had Start'n over from scratch (Testify)
[Sax interlude]
Wipe that smile off my face It put me down in the proper place But the world just keeps on spin'n 'round And I'm still hang'n around in this world
I lost everything I had I'm start'n over from scratch I lost everything I had! I'm start'n over from scratch
