I've heard all the stories, the failure and glories I haven't had either Boast and toast I'm the best and I'm a mess I know I'm not neither Thought I was down as far as any man could go, Thought my highs were giant size I know now that's not so I know you heard, know you heard, know you heard, Don't believe a word, not a word, one word It's been overblown, the truth should be known 'til now I couldn't see Put my cards on the table while I'm still able, I guess I really don't know how to party It's blown out of whack, The truth is what's lacking, 'til now I couldn't see The long and the short I'd like to report, I guess I really don't know how to party Really don't by any shape or form Whether straight up in the sunshine Or passed out in the storm Don't know how but now I know I don't Will it help me out? no, it probably won't Ten nine ain't no hero number one at bad behavior Five, four, three, two, what? not zero Don't go counting on a savior I was playing it safe when I'd fall on my face Entertainment was what I was after, Harmless fun, no damage done I was out and about for the laughter Thought I was some-thing Really something no one was gonna touch Ace in the place, kingpin of sin I didn't know too much Don't believe everything you've heard, Don't believe a solitary word It's been overblown, the truth should be known, 'til now I couldn't see Put my cards on the table while I'm still able I guess I really don't know how to party Really don't by any shape and form Whether straight up in the sunshine Or passed out in a storm, Don't know how but now I know I don't Will it help me out, no it probably won't I don't have a notion and I don't have a clue, An iota or an inkling where to start or what to do The foggiest, the faintest, the slightest I ain't got Will it help me out? Nah, probably not
