Can't believe the things you said
And the way you turned your head, around and around
I should've thought before I spoke
I should've given up right then, before you were spinning
It's the same old song and dance you see
It's the same old song that's been playing all day long
It's the same old song and dance you see
It's the same old song that's been stringing you along
Why oh why?
When they're beating you down, put your feet on the ground
Hold your head up and smile, your hands aren't tied
When you just want to break, when it's all you can take
Hold your head up and smile, your hands aren't tied
And you may say that you were right
And you may think that you were kind
And you may feel like you're not gonna make it
âCause we don't know until we try
We don't know what could walk by, don't you walk on by
I know that words can sometimes burn and tables turn
But we all get what we deserve and sometimes it hurts
Just hold on tight and don't let go
âCause you know things they'll never know
