I was out in the city 
I was out in the rain
I was feeling down-hearted 
I was drinking again
I was standing by the bridges
where the dark water flows
I was talking to a stranger
about times long ago

I was young I was foolish
I was angry I was vain
I was charming I was lucky
tell me how have I changed

Now I’m oh out of control
Now I’m oh out of control
Oh help me now

And the girls in the doorway
and the boys on the game
And the [bad word] and the homeless
they all know me

And the police on the corner
give a nod and a wave
As they point me to my final destination

I was young I was foolish
I was angry I was vain
I was charming feeling lucky
tell me how have I changed

Now I’m oh out of control
Now I’m oh out of control
Oh help me now

In the hotel I’m excited
by the smile on her face
But I wondered how was time gonna change her

I was young I was foolish
I was angry I was vain
I was charming I was out there
tell me how have I changed

Now I’m oh out of control 
Now I’m oh out of control
