Many too many have stood where I stand Many more will stand here too The thing that I find strange Was the way you built me up Then knocked me down again The part was fun but now its over Why can't I just leave the stage Maybe that's because you securely locked me up Then threw away the key Oh mama please would you find the key Oh pretty mama please won't you let me go free I thought I was lucky
I thought that I'd got it made How could I be so blind? You said goodbye on a corner That I thought led to the straight You set me on a firmly laid and simple course And then removed the road Oh mama please help me find the way Oh pretty mama please lead me through the next day I thought I was lucky I thought that I'd got it made How could I be so blind? (Oh no)
