[Verse 1]
           
Hey once I was

 a boogie sing

er playin' in 

a rock and rol

l band
I never had no problems burning down them one night stands
     
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 

  
dancin' and si

ngin' and movi

n' to the groo

vin'
     
And just when 

it hit me some

body turned ar

ound and shout

[Verse 2]

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
    
So still I kep
