When the wrecking ball swings wild
And knocks you down a peg
Reality is as hard as a rock
In a desperate moment
Make sure you don't get fooled
Spare yourself the worry and shock
I know it now
Having been knocked over
Once or twice
You can't follow everyone's
Advice
You can't follow everyone's advice
You can't follow everyone's advice
No, no, sooner or later
It's got to come out of you
You can't follow everyone's advice
It's a pride and passion thing
That has the truthful ring
Don't cut yourself on someone else's tongue
'Cause they can paint a flowery view
But in the end it's up to you
The sweetest blossom somtimes leaves you stung
