I really tried my hardest just to make you understand
   (What) it feels like to a boy, when he don't feel like a man
   But you gave me so much money
   And you would not understand
   I realize I hurt you, so I stay just as I am
  
   But the whole world keeps on turnin'
   Yes, the whole world keeps on turnin'
   But the whole world keeps on turnin'
   I just roll along
  
   There's been one too many mornings
   And one too many years
   One of life's delinquents
   who just can't take the pace
   We found out the hard way
   I hope you understand
   That my life is just my habit
   And I had an overdose
  
   Repeat
  
   I used to try, I used to try
   Used to cry, oh I used to cry
