Everybody keeps telling me to keep doing what you're doing,
So I keep doing just that
But it don't mean a thing


Just the other day a real good friend of mine,
Said your doing fine,

Doing great, great, great, great, great
I didn't say anything


A young man's dream at 17,
Got %#@! done at 21
at 32, I met you,

I made a little money at 40
I made a little money at 40
I made a little money at 40

But nothing happens at 47

When I was young just a little boy

I lived far, far, far, far, far away from here
And I was really loved


They would hold me in their arms,
Tuck me to bed, help me go to sleep,
Cuz I could never really go to sleep,

All that well

A young man's dreams at 17,

Got %#@! done at 21
at 32, I met you,
I made a little money at 40

I made a little money at 40
I made a little money at 40
But nothing happens at 47


Now I'm still walking in the big, big park,
Digging around in my deep, weak heart

I'm looking for help

This human condition, I've made it my mission,

To following the cash, go with the masses
Promises, promises, promises, promises,
I made to myself


A young man's dreams at 17
Got %#@! done at 21

at 32, I met you,
I made a little money at 40
I made a little money at 40

I made a little money at 40
But nothing happens at 47
47

47
At 47
Oh no, no, no
