Instead

Instead of feelin' bad

Be glad

You've got somewhere to go

Instead of feelin' sad

Be happy

You're not all alone

Instead of feelin' low

Get high

On everything you love

Instead of wastin' time

Feel good 'bout what you're dreamin' of

Instead of tryin' to win something you never understood

Just play the game you know, eventually you'll love her good

It's silly to pretend that you have something you don't own

Just let her be your woman and you'll be her man

Instead of feelin' broke

Buck up

And get yourself in the black

Instead of losin' hope

Touch up

The things that feel out of whack

Instead of bein' old

Be young

Because you know you are

Instead of feelin' cold

Let sunshine into your heart

Instead of acting crazy chasin' things that make you mad

Keep your heart ahead it'll lead you back to what you have

With every step you're closer to the place you need to be

It's up to you to let her love you sweetly

Instead of acting crazy chasin' things that make you mad

Just keep your heart ahead it'll lead you back to what you have

With every step you're closer to the place you need to be

But it's up to you to let her love you sweetly

Instead of feelin' bad

Be glad

You've got someone to love

Instead of feelin' sad

Be happy

There's a God above

Instead of feelin' low

Remember

You're never on your own

Instead of feelin' sad

Be happy that she's there at home

She's waiting for you by the phone

So be glad that she is all your own

Instead of feelin' bad

Get happy

Waitin' for you

By the telephone

So get

Back home
