say you won’t for the last time
i’ve had my way for the last time
oh, Father, don’t leave me for the last time!
oh, Father, don’t leave me in the wrong time!
i was wrong this time
i was wrong this time
i was wrong this time
i was wrong this time
i was wrong this time
i was wrong this time

save me now before i go...
and i would be a prophet if i could get out my head
(and i would be a prophet if i could get out bed)
and if and if and if and if and if and if i failed
well, i am just a poor man in a gilded, golden world!
and would and would and would it be too late?
my life, my love, my rights, my wrongs,
my reeling in your face
and should and should and should it be too late
wrong steps, wrong life, wrong rights, wrong ways,
i’ve had my fill today
and if and if and if and if and if and if i failed
well, i am just a poor man in a gilded, golden world!
and would and would and would it be too late?
my life, my love, my rights, my wrongs,
my reeling in your face

i tried, i tried, i tried, i tried, i tried, i tried my best

i gave myself!
i gave myself!
i gave myself!
i gave myself!
i gave myself!
