Rolling down the street on a Sunday
All the fellas up to no good
Some they feel the vibe, some they just get high
This life can't be understood
Tommy's moving with the wrong people
Trying to find himself a new life
What he doesn't know is that he may grow into something that nobody will like
So listen brother, think you're doing better than others
You'll discover, life ain't always what it seems
Coming home from work in the city
To see the girl you left behind
She's with someone new, nothing more to do
Time to make something of your sorry life
Changing our lives, for worse or for better
What's wrong or what's right, will go on forever
With all that we know, we don't have the answers to the lessons in life
Listen brother, think you're doing better than others
You'll discover, life ain't always what it seems
'Cause if you let her, she would go for something much better
So you'd better, give her all the love that she needs
Listen brother, 'cause if you let her
You'll discover these are the lessons you will learn
Changing our lives, for worse or for better
What's wrong or what's right, will go on forever
With all that we know, we don't have the answers to the lessons in life
