It was a moonlight mishap
You lost your party hat
Seems your lifestyle ain't so worthwhile, after all

A heavy-hearted taxi ride
Then a walk on the wild side
Did your guardian angel let you down?
Gonna lay low and play it straight
It's time to rejuvenate
Gonna kick-start your heart 'til you come around

I can tell you now
You've really gotten the blues
I can tell you now
That I've walked in your shoes
Gimme the sweet and lowdown

You better get out the way
Its history made the hard way
From a hero to a zero, once again
Ain't no time for vanity or this insanity
You're maladjusted and now you're busted once again

I can tell you now
It comes as no surprise
I can tell you now
By that look in your eyes
Gimme the sweet and lowdown

You're looking kinda punch drunk
'Cause that's the way you strut your stuff
With a swing and a swagger, down the road you go
You should've made a better choice
And listened to your inner voice
You gotta get right or get left, don't you know?

I can tell you now
It's the peak of bad news
I can tell you now
That I've walked in your shoes
Gimme the sweet and lowdown

The sweet and lowdown
Gimme the sweet
The sweet and lowdown
