---------
When the wrecking ball swings wild
And knocks you down a peg
Reality is as hard as a rock.
In a desperate moment
Make sure you don`t get fooled.
Spare yourself the worry and shock.
I know it now.
Having been knocked over
Once or twice.
You can`t follow everyone`s
Advice.
You can`t follow everyone`s advice.
You can`t follow everyone`s advice.
No, no, sooner or later
It`s got to come out of you.
You can`t follow everyone`s advice.
It`s a pride and passion thing
That has the truthful ring.
Don`t cut yourself on someone else`s tongue.
`Cause they can paint a flowery view
But in the end it`s up to you.
The sweetest blossom somtimes leaves you stung.
