Hey once I was

 a boogie sing

er playin' in 

a rock and rol

l band

And everything

 around me got

 to stop to fe

elin' so low
And I decided quickly yes I did to disco down and check out the show

[Pre-Chorus]
              
Yeah they was

erstand this I

 thought that 

they were out 

of their minds
How could I be so foolish how could I to not see I was the one behind
