Instead of feelin' bad, be glad you've got somewhere to go
Instead of feelin' sad, be happy you are not all alone
Instead of feelin' low, get high on everything you love
Instead of wastin' time, feel good 'bout what you're dreamin' of
Instead of tryin' to win something you never understood
Just play the game you know, eventually you'll love her good
It's silly to pretend that you have something you don't own
Just let her be your woman and you'll be her man
Instead of feelin' broke, buck up and get yourself in the black
Instead of losin' hope, touch up the things that feel out of whack
Instead of bein' old, be young because you know you are
Instead of feelin' cold, and let sunshine into your heart
Instead of acting crazy chasin' things that make you mad
(Just) Keep your heart ahead, it'll lead you back to what you have
With every step you're closer to the place you need to be
(But) It's up to you to let her love you sweetly
Instead of feelin' bad, be glad you've got someone to love
Instead of feelin' sad, be happy there's a god above
Instead of feelin' low, remember you're never on your own
Instead of feelin' sad, be happy that she's there at home
She's waitin' for you by the phone
So be glad that she is all your own
Get happy
She's waitin' for you by the telephone
So get back home!
