Well we were innocent and unafraid—
In [bad word] carefree days—So aloof
and so blasé when we were young—Life
was so much simpler then—We were surrounded by so many real men—Who thought
their weakness was a strength—
Oh how wrong they were

I’m gonna tell you something you might
not wanna hear—Gonna tell it straight my dear—It’s the reason I am here—I’m
gonna tell you something you might not wanna know—Show you somewhere you
should go—Before you end up in a big black hole

Well I loved you then and I love you
still—I admire your old-fashioned iron will—I can’t stand here and watch you
go downhill without saying a word—It’s the ancient game of tug-o-war—The
immovable rock, the unstoppable force—It’s time to cut the umbilical cord
and stand up on your own
