well, i used to be scared
and i still am
said, i used to be afraid
i wasn't 'nough of a man
i used to fear so failin'
i sought to do me harm
never thought i'd find acceptance
in another's arms
but i kept on pushin'
'til the work got through
i kept on smilin'
though i was indigo
i kept my nose clean
so my nose didn't run
bedded down like an apple
and rose up with the dawn
well, i used to be ashamed
i'm tryin' to let that go
i used to blame myself
i told you it weren't so
you used to hide your heart
in your darkest charms
but here you are tonight
in your lover's arms
well, some people they ain't got nothin'
and some people they take what they got for granted
i said, some people they never had no one
some people with their own pain 'come enchanted
some peoples' minds are filled with fire
they'd long to lay down and die
but they're just too damn tired
said, i used to be afraid
and i still am
but i do what i do
and i does what i can
said, hey, good-lookin'
you know you drove me insane
why won't you dance a little closer
and, come on, do it again
we just gotta stay pushin'
'til the work gets through
i'm-a keep on smilin'
honey, how 'bout you?
we all got wheels
to roll us home
and even when we're lost
we ain't quite alone
