Once upon a lonely time, though not so long ago
You used to be a super-star, you used to steal the show
But now you must be satisfied with singin' on the street
And watch the world go passin' by, that once was at your feet
Baby, don't let it mess your mind, oh, no
Sadness ain't a feelin' that becomes you
Baby, don't let it mess your mind, oh, no, no
Remember, life will always love you
In and out of circles, all the time we seem to waste
To make our plans
And find that all our plans have been erased
We've had a little money and we made a little time
And soon we'll grow forgetful of all we've left behind
Baby, don't let it mess your mind, oh, no
Sadness ain't a feelin' that becomes you
Baby don't let it mess your mind, oh, no, no
Remember life will always love you
Baby, don't let it mess your mind, no
Sadness ain't a feelin' that becomes you
