You got the world boy This all you make it? You had the choice lad You wouldnt take it The oldest charm Only the best for you And the years of my life, Some they were so good, But now and again I feel I was a coward Are the holes in my soul In tatters for all these tears Well you dont see it that way A way, a way We'lll have it today The dancing ones they really mean it But something boy, somethings gonna change A way, a way Youve got it they say How do they know When theyve never seen it? And what will you do When they forget your name? Well you'll up and get another one Don't give me that face I know when I should live in disgrace Not dig up the deadwood I knew this place was never the place for me And of the years that rolled by Yeah some were so good But now I know that You were the coward The holes in your soul In tatters for all these years But you cant see it that way A way, a way Well have it today The dancing ones they really mean it And mark my words Something's gonna change A way, a way Youve got it they say But how do they know When theyve never seen it? And what will you do When they forget your name? Well you'll up and get another one A way, a way We'll have it today The dancing ones they really mean it But something boy somethings gonna change A way, a way Youve got it today But how do they know When theyve never seen it? And what will you do When they forget your name? Well you'll up and get another one By Gumo® Montevideo-Uruguay
