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?
