Don't be petty, don't be trite
I'm feeling pretty good now
I'm doing alright
Memories are wrong
They never did play fair
If it's all in the past
Why doesn't it stay there
I got older, I just didn't get wise
Bred for the occasion, but I didn't rise
I never gave up though like those other guys
I guess I never did learn how to compromise
Chorus:
I'd pay extra for a homemade guarantee
I need to learn to stay good company
Now there's no one else behind this door
No warm feet on this January floor

Never give up, never give in
Unpopular decisions keep you lonely
Keep you thin
Friends turn to strangers and strangers friends
But life can be so sweet till the bitter end

Chorus
