Dragged up, raised tough   Born a mistake   Learned fast the golden rule   Never give, just take   Did no favors, gave no quarter   You all know the story 'bout   The lamb's broadway slaughter.      Turning a new leaf   Turning a new leaf   Turning a new leaf      Street wise, cat's eye's   Showbusiness smile   Lookin' for today's mark   On the golden mile   Book wise, movie eyed   So cool dudes.   Ain't gonna do no talking   When they find out they been used.      Turning a new leaf   Turning a new leaf   Turning a new leaf      Got to make some time   Go through the changes   My whole life needs some rearrangin'      Self styled reject   Ambitious wisher   Also ran life style   Guaranteed user, like a,   Campaign promise from a three time loser   Got to make my move soon   Because, beggars can't be choosers,   So i'm,      Turning a new leaf   Turning a new leaf   Turning a new leaf         (mccafferty, cleminson, charlton, agnew, sweet)   (copyright 1980 nazsongs ltd.)   All rights reserved.   Lyrics used by permission only.reproduction prohibited.   Copyright 1980 a&m records, inc.
