Well I thought I hit the big time, but I hit the bottom first
Well I thought I hit the big time, but I hit the bottom first
Well you know things has got to get better, it can't get no worse
I thought I was movin' up, and my own woman let me down
I thought I was movin' up, and my own woman let me down
I thought I was gettin' on, found myself spinnin' round
I let a lot o' money, sift through my hand
Yeh I let a lot o' money, sift through my hand
You know I ain't got a dime, and now I'm a broken man
I thought I hit the big time, I hit the bottom first
Yeah I thought I hit the big time, I hit the bottom first
You know things has got to get better, whoa it can't get no worse
Lawd lawd what I'm gonna do?
