Well I've a sorry tale to tell ya

Forgive me if you've heard it before

Y'see, I ain't got nothing to sell ya

Though I've a few surprises left in store

Well I told all my troubles to Marlon

But Marlon didn't want to know

Bout how I've picked every flower in my garden

Now I'm gonna watch my garden grow

You know I've got a bad reputation

You know I like monkeying around

Y'see I'd rather swingfrom the treetops

Cos I can't keep my feet on the grounds

But I can stand tall

It's not that I'm living a lie

It's stars in my eyes

If I fall

I'd rather have stars in my eyes

Than nothing at all

20/20 nothing at all

Well some they like the straight and narrow

But me like a kink or two

So many winding roads to follow

But only one that follows through

If I just dip my toe in the water

It don't mean I'm gonna get wet

They say I've got a certain something

Is it something that I'll live to regret?

But I can stand tall

It's not that I'm living a lie

It's stars in my eyes

If I fall

I'd rather have stars in my eyes

Than nothing at all

20/20 nothing at all

It's safe to say my life is changing

My destiny is in my hands

This song just needs some rearranging

And then I'll make it to the promised land

Where I will stand tall

It's not that I'm living a lie

It's stars in my eyes

If I fall

I'd rather have stars in my eyes

Than nothing at all

20/20 nothing at all
