When the wrecking ball swings wild

And knocks you down a peg

Reality is as hard as a rock.

In a desperate moment

Make sure you don't get fooled.

Spare yourself the worry and shock.



I know it now.

Having been knocked over

Once or twice.

You can't follow everyone's

Advice.

You can't follow everyone's advice.

You can't follow everyone's advice.

No, no, sooner or later

It's got to come out of you.

You can't follow everyone's advice.



It's a pride and passion thing

That has the truthful ring.

Don't cut yourself on someone else's tongue.

'Cause they can paint a flowery view

But in the end it's up to you.

The sweetest blossom somtimes leaves you stung
