Instead
Instead of feeling bad
Be glad you got somewhere to go
Instead of feeling sad
Be happy you're not all alone
Instead of feeling low
Get high on everything you love
Instead of wasting time
Feel good about what

You are dreaming of
Instead of trying to win something
You never understood
Just play the game you know eventually
You never good
It's silly to pretend to you have
Something you don't own
Just let her be a woman

And you'll be her man
Instead of feeling broke
Buck up and get yourself
In the black
Instead of losing hope
Touch up the things that
Feel out of whack
Instead of being old

Be young because you know you are
Instead of feeling cold
Let sunshine into your heart
Instead of acting crazy chasing
Things that make you mad
Keep your heart ahead
It'll lead you back to what you have
With every step you are closer

To the place you need to be
It's up to you
To let her love you sweetly
Instead of acting crazy
Chasing things that make you mad
Just keep your heart ahead
It'll lead you back to what you have
With every step you are closer
To the place you need to be

But it's up to you
To let her love you sweetly
Instead of feeling bad
Be glad you got someone to love
Instead of feeling sad
Be happy there's a god above
Instead of feeling alone
Remember you are never on your own

Instead of feeling sad
Be happy that she's there at home
She's waiting for you by the phone
So be glad she's all your own
Instead of feeling sad
Get happy
Wating for you by the telephone
Don't get
Back home
