Seen a lot of good times in my life Times when everything went so right Seen a lot of things go wrong and I don't know why I've seen a lot of good times in my life Had a bit of sadness in my life Friend of mine went down the other night I tried to sort it out but now I just don't know why I've had a bit of sadness in my life You see I am a lonely, lonely, man And what I got, I got together with my own two hands And I wonder what am I gonna do to put things right I've seen a lot of good times in my life I've taken lots of chances in my life One of them has changed me overnight I've seen a glimpse of the other side and the lights are much too bright I've taken lots of chances in my life I've gotta do something with my life Gotta make a change and put up a fight Stand on my own two feet this time and do it right I've gotta do something with my life You see I am a lonely, lonely, man And what I got, I got together with my own two hands And I wonder what am I gonna do to put these things right I've seen a lot of good times in my life I've gotta do something with my life
