The man finds himself alone

For the first time in his life

He's always got a problem

He's got to work it out wrong or right He's got to work it out

He's so lonely in the night

He's got to work it out, all alone Now who in the world would believe

That he's got another trick up his sleeve

And who in the world wants to know

Which way should he go Which way should he turn?

Which way should he learn?

Which day should he stop?

Which way to the top? I remember him when we were friends

When we were young, way back then

I still can recall when we were small

How he tried his best to warn us all This living on his own has turned his heart

To stone and it's all pain

He sits out on his own and eats his heart

Out alone in the pouring rain Now who in the world would have know

That just a few years ago

His love could have grown and grown

Through the rain, the sleet and snow But the rain, the sleet and snow

Chills the heart and kills the soul

So let the cold winds blow

What he doesn't see, he doesn't know I remember him when we were friends

When we were young, way back then

I recall it all when we were small

How he tried his best to warn us all I remember it still, I always will

When we were friends way back then

I recall it all when we were small

How he tried his best to warn us all of the danger He said, "Watch out for the danger"

He said, "Watch out" The man is a winner for the first time in his life

He looks a little thinner but he says, "Hey that doesn't matter"

But if you look closely you'll see

A cold smug self-satisfactory smile behind And now that he has won

It doesn't matter how or which way it was done

Now that he's in control

Revenge is in his heart and soul The power is at his fingertips

Vengeance is on his lips

But the power he fought to control

Now has got him in its grips I remember him when we were friends

When we were young, way back then

I recall it all when we were small

How he tried his best to warn us all I remember it still, I always will

When we were friends way back then

I recall it all when we were small

How he tried his best to warn us all of the danger I remember him when we were friends

When we were young, way back then

But now we're all grown up

And we're strangers You see, bit by bit, part by part

We slipped and slipped

Till we'd grown apart

And now we're strangers I remember him when we were friends

When we were young it was way back then

I still recall it all when we were small

How he tried his best, he said, "Watch out for the danger" But bit by bit

We slipped and slipped

Now we're all grown
