I stand accused, just like you
For being born without a silver spoon
Stood at the top of the hill over my townhouse phone
I've been on the shelf too long
Seen at home and I've been too long
Got my things and now I'm gone
How's the world gonna turn for me?
I'm finding myself
Used to be high, but now I see the light
And love is a drug that I don't need
I've been on the shelf too long
Seen at home and I've been too long
Now it's time to hear my song
How you gonna turn for me?
I've been on the shelf too long
Been in the woods without the sun
Never had a way to go
Tell me now I do
I've been on the shelf too long
I've been on the shelf too long
I've been on the shelf too long
Why did I become a clown?
Why did I become a clown?
I found my love
And there's a thought in my mind
I'm climbing up high
Climbing up high
I'm climbing up high
Climbing up high
Climbing up high
Climbing up high

If Jesus left to save me
He'll never save you too
And you don't know why
I've been on the shelf too long
I've got a little sticker left
That burns my boots
And now I see the light shine bright in my eyes
And the earth is the judge and it ain't for me
It's just the cronies that gives my life the love I need
I'm gonna move on the floor with my sweet young face
I'm a lady, I'm a lady, I'm a lady
I'm the heart of my soul, this is me
