Well I've a sorry tale to tell ya   Forgive me if you've heard it before   Y'see, I ain't got nothing to sell ya   Though I've a few surprises left in store   Well I told all my troubles to Marlon   But Marlon didn't want to know   Bout how I've picked every flower in my garden   Now I'm gonna watch my garden grow   You know I've got a bad reputation   You know I like monkeying around   Y'see I'd rather swingfrom the treetops   Cos I can't keep my feet on the grounds      But I can stand tall   It's not that I'm living a lie   It's stars in my eyes   If I fall   I'd rather have stars in my eyes   Than nothing at all   20/20 nothing at all      Well some they like the straight and narrow   But me like a kink or two   So many winding roads to follow   But only one that follows through   If I just dip my toe in the water   It don't mean I'm gonna get wet   They say I've got a certain something   Is it something that I'll live to regret?      But I can stand tall   It's not that I'm living a lie   It's stars in my eyes   If I fall   I'd rather have stars in my eyes   Than nothing at all   20/20 nothing at all      It's safe to say my life is changing   My destiny is in my hands   This song just needs some rearranging   And then I'll make it to the promised land      Where I will stand tall   It's not that I'm living a lie   It's stars in my eyes   If I fall   I'd rather have stars in my eyes   Than nothing at all   20/20 nothing at all
