Dragged up, raised tough Born a mistake Learned fast the golden rule Never give, just take Did no favors, gave no quarter You all know the story 'bout The lamb's broadway slaughter. Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf Street wise, cat's eye's Showbusiness smile Lookin' for today's mark On the golden mile Book wise, movie eyed So cool dudes. Ain't gonna do no talking When they find out they been used. Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf Got to make some time Go through the changes My whole life needs some rearrangin' Self styled reject Ambitious wisher Also ran life style Guaranteed user, like a, Campaign promise from a three time loser Got to make my move soon Because, beggars can't be choosers, So I'm, Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf (McCafferty, Cleminson, Charlton, Agnew, Sweet) (copyright 1980 Nazsongs ltd.) all rights reserved.
