Forgive me if you've heard it before
Y'see, I ain't got nothing to sell ya
Though I've a few surprises left in store
Well I told all my troubles to Marlon
But Marlon didn't want to know
Bout how I've picked every flower in my garden
Now I'm gonna watch my garden grow
You know I've got a bad reputation
You know I like monkeying around
Y'see I'd rather swingfrom the treetops
Cos I can't keep my feet on the grounds
But I can stand tall
It's not that I'm living a lie
It's stars in my eyes
If I fall
I'd rather have stars in my eyes
Than nothing at all
20/20 nothing at all
Well some they like the straight and narrow
But me like a kink or two
So many winding roads to follow
But only one that follows through
If I just dip my toe in the water
It don't mean I'm gonna get wet
They say I've got a certain something
Is it something that I'll live to regret?
But I can stand tall
It's not that I'm living a lie
It's stars in my eyes
If I fall
I'd rather have stars in my eyes
Than nothing at all
20/20 nothing at all
It's safe to say my life is changing
My destiny is in my hands
This song just needs some rearranging
And then I'll make it to the promised land
Where I will stand tall
It's not that I'm living a lie
It's stars in my eyes
If I fall
I'd rather have stars in my eyes
Than nothing at all
20/20 nothing at all
Well I've a sorry tale to tell ya Forgive me if you've heard it before Y'see, I ain't got nothing to sell ya Though I've a few surprises left in store Well I told all my troubles to Marlon But Marlon didn't want to know Bout how I've picked every flower in my garden Now I'm gonna watch my garden grow You know I've got a bad reputation You know I like monkeying around Y'see I'd rather swingfrom the treetops Cos I can't keep my feet on the grounds But I can stand tall It's not that I'm living a lie It's stars in my eyes If I fall I'd rather have stars in my eyes Than nothing at all 20/20 nothing at all Well some they like the straight and narrow But me like a kink or two So many winding roads to follow But only one that follows through If I just dip my toe in the water It don't mean I'm gonna get wet They say I've got a certain something Is it something that I'll live to regret? But I can stand tall It's not that I'm living a lie It's stars in my eyes If I fall I'd rather have stars in my eyes Than nothing at all 20/20 nothing at all It's safe to say my life is changing My destiny is in my hands This song just needs some rearranging And then I'll make it to the promised land Where I will stand tall It's not that I'm living a lie It's stars in my eyes If I fall I'd rather have stars in my eyes Than nothing at all 20/20 nothing at all Explain Request ×
