Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Whoa, yeah
Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Alright
[Verse 2]
Sitting here watching
Fools by themselves when
They should all be thinking of getting to know themselves
While life goes on everyone's got to stand strong
You can't surrender, no
No, no
[Verse 3]
Giving your heart and soul to vanity, yeah
Makes your life filled with pain and misery
While life goes on everyone's got to stand strong
You can't surrender, no
No, no
Oh, no
[Verse 4]
Whoa, yeah
Got to be good to yourself, yeah
Whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
Oh, yeah
[Verse 5]
Sitting here watching
Fools by themselves when
They should all be thinking of gettin' to know themselves
While life goes on everyone's got to stand strong
You can't surrender, no
No, no
Whoa
[Verse 6]
Giving your heart and soul to vanity, yeah
Makes one's life filled with pain and misery
While life goes on everyone's got to stand strong
You can't surrender
No, no
Oh, no
[Verse 7]
Whoa, yeah
Need to find yourself
No, no
