Well I don't tell jokes   And I don't take notes   You been sayin there ain't much hope   You got nothin on me         I got friends uptown   And they don't talk down   They been keepin me safe and sound   We got somethin to be         So in case you hadn't noticed   I'm alright   Not like I was before   Things used to be so hopeless   But not tonight   Tonight I'm walkin out that door         I'm not gonna cry   I'm wavin goodbye   And I know this time   You got nothin on me         Well it ain't that tough   Just more of the usual stuff   One heartache is more than enough   There ain't nothin to see         I got friends uptown   And they still come 'round   They been keepin me safe and sound   We got somethin to be         So don't you try to save me   With your advice   Or turn me into somebody else   Cuz I'm not crazy and you're not nice   Baby keep it to yourself         I'm not gonna cry   And I'm wavin goodbye   And I know this time   You got nothin on me
