I was once sitting on top of the world 
 I really had things in my hand 
 But something went wrong I'm not sure what 
 And now I'm sitting here at home alone 
    People they want to give you free advice 
 Well, that's something that I always try 
 But you get what you pay for that's what I say 
 And now I'm paying and paying and paying   
 I lost everything I had 
 I'm starting over from scratch 
 I lost everything I had 
 I'm starting over from scratch   
 Everything I wanted cooking on the stove 
 Everything I needed right in the home 
 I had the best thing you can have 
 You can have it you can have it now   
 I lost everything I had 
 I'm starting over from scratch 
 I lost everything I had 
 I'm starting over from scratch   
 It's just a fact   
 Wiped that smile off my face 
 Put me down in my proper place 
 But the world just keeps on spinning around 
 And I'm still hanging around in this world   
 I lost everything I had 
 I'm starting over from scratch 
 I lost everything I had 
 I'm starting over from scratch
