The man finds himself all alone
For the first time in his life
And though he's got a problem
He's got to work it out wrong or right
He's got to work it out,
He's so lonely in the night
He's got to work it out all alone

Now who in the world would believe
He's got another trick up his sleeve
And who in the world wants to know
Which way he should go?
Which way should he turn?
Which way should he learn?
Which day should he stop?
Which way to the top?

I remember him when we were friends
When we were young, way back then
I still can recall when we were small
How he tried his best to warn us all

This living on his own
Has turned his heart to stone
And it's all pain
He sits out on his own
And eats his heart out alone
In the pouring rain
Now who in the world would have known
That just a few years ago
His love could have grown and grown

Through the rain, the sleet and snow
But the rain, the sleet and snow
Chills the heart and kills the soul
So the let the cold winds blow
What he doesn't see he doesn't know

I remember him when we were friends
When we were young, way back then
I recall it all when we were small
How he tried his best to warn us all

I remember it still, I always will
When we were friends way back then
I recall it all when we were small
How he tried his best
To warn us all of the danger
He said, "Watch out for the danger"
He said, "Watch out"

The man is a winner
For the first time in his life
He looks a little thinner
But he says "Hey that doesn't matter"
But if you look closely
You'll see a cold smug self-satisfactory smile
Behind his evil eyes

And now that he has won
It doesn't matter how or which way it was done
Now that he's in control,
Revenge is in his heart and soul
The power is at his fingertips
Vengeance is on his lips
But the power he fought to control
Now has got him in its grips

I remember him when we were friends
When we were young, way back then
I recall it all when we were small
How he tried his best to warn us all

I remember it still, I always will
When we were friends way back then
I recall it all when we were small
How he tried his best to warn us all of the danger

I remember him when we were friends
When we were young, way back then
But now we're all grown up and we're strangers
You see, bit by bit, part by part
We slipped and slipped
Till we'd grown apart and now we're strangers

I remember him when we were friends
When we were young it was way back then
I still recall it all when we were small
How he tried his best he said
"Watch out for the danger"
But bit by bit we slipped and slipped
Now we've grown apart and we're strangers
