Well we were innocent and unafraid-
In uncomplicated carefree days-So aloof
and so blasé when we were young-Life
was so much simpler then-We were surrounded by so many real men-Who thought
their weakness was a strength-
Oh how wrong they were
I'm gonna tell you something you might
not wanna hear-Gonna tell it straight my dear-It's the reason I am here-I'm
gonna tell you something you might not wanna know-Show you somewhere you
should go-Before you end up in a big black hole
Well I loved you then and I love you
still-I admire your old-fashioned iron will-I can't stand here and watch you
go downhill without saying a word-It's the ancient game of tug-o-war-The
immovable rock, the unstoppable force-It's time to cut the umbilical cord
and stand up on your own
