[Verse 1]

I was once sitting on top of the world

I really had things in my hands

But something went wrong, I'm not sure what

And now I'm sitting here at home alone

People, they wanna give you free advice

Well, that's something that I always try

"But you get what you pay for," that's what I say

And now I'm paying and paying and paying

[Chorus]

I lost everything I had

I'm starting over from scratch

I lost everything I had

I'm starting over from scratch

[Verse 2]

Everything I wanted cooking on the stove

Everything I needed right in the home

I had the best thing you can have

You can have it, you can have it now

[Chorus]

I lost everything I had

I'm starting over from scratch

I lost everything I had

Starting over from scratch

Testify

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]

Wiped that smile off my face

Put me down in my proper place

But the world just keeps on spinnin' 'round

And I'm still hanging around in this world

[Chorus]

I lost everything I had

I'm starting over from scratch

I lost everything I had

I'm starting over from scratch
