I was once sit'n on top of the world
I really had things in my hand
But some'n went wrong I'm not sure what
And now I'm sit'n here at home alone
People they wanna give you free advice
Well that's some'n that I always try
But you get what you pay for that's what I say
And now I'm pay'n and pay'n and pay'n
I lost everything I had
I'm start'n over from scratch
I lost everything I had
I'm start'n over from scratch
Everything I wanted cook'n on the stove
Everything I needed right in the home
I had the best thing you can have
You can have it
You can have it now
I lost everything I had
I'm start'n over from scratch
I lost everything I had
Start'n over from scratch
(Testify)
[Sax interlude]
Wipe that smile off my face
It put me down in the proper place
But the world just keeps on spin'n 'round
And I'm still hang'n around in this world
I lost everything I had
I'm start'n over from scratch
I lost everything I had!
I'm start'n over from scratch
