Momma told me I should always be careful Daddy told me I should always be respectful Now I know I haven’t always been Somebody you could put your trust in but I’m here to prove that I’m a brand new man for you I’ve given up my old ways I’ve found myself a new place A place to try to build the life I gave away I don’t remember why I gave it away [Pre-Chorus:] This is a brand new start I hope you see it in my heart That I know just who I am and what you are I know you are a good thing [Chorus:] You don’t leave a good thing for a good time You don’t scrap a whole song cause of one rhyme You lose it all you lose it all and you soon find That you don’t leave a good thing for a good time I was a man that I just couldn’t be proud of So I traded a quiet and a stand in for some loud fun I broke a promise that I’d always be the kind of prince I know a princess needs but I’m here to prove that I’m a brand new man from you [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus]
