Now you know this ain't the kind of life for you It's not the way you thought that it would be If I could change my way to you If I could change, it wouldn't be me And you see I know I never tried the things I should have done Oh and time is always passing by I want to do the things I never done before So I do try not to tell a lie When I'm so low, when I'm so high Yet you cry when I say I can't give you more First you said you'd never try to slow me down That ev'rything would work out really fine But as those walls closed in on us Your words just fell right out of line And behind I know I never tried the things I should have done And time is always passing by I want to do the things I never done before So I do try not to tell a lie When I'm so low, when I'm so high Yet you cry when I say I can't give you more Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more Can't give any more Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more Ain't got any more Did you figure ours would be an easy thing Like lazy days of lying in the sun I told you if you wanted me That ev'ry day just wouldn't be fun Now it's done I know I never tried the thing I should have done And time is always passing by I want to do the things I never done before So I do try not to tell a lie When I'm so low, when I'm so high Yet you cry when I say I can't give you more Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more Can't give you more Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more I ain't got any more Oh, oh, oh, I ain't got any more I ain't got any more Oh, oh, oh, can't give you more I ain't got any more
