[Chorus]
There's a right way, there's a wrong way
Make your way the best way, your way
There's a right way, there's a wrong way
Make your way the best way, your way
[Verse 1]
My mother told me when I was a little boy:
"Some things you play with, some things you cannot enjoy"
Sometimes she gave me, and sometimes I had to earn
She said "play with fire, you're bound to get burned"
Daddy was up in the morning, workin' all day
And I remember his warning, when he used to say
"Pay attention to your tеacher, while attending school"
Oh, hе would sound like a preacher, when he said "be no fool"
[Chorus]
There's a right way, there's a wrong way
Make your way the best way, your way
There's a right way, there's a wrong way
Make your way the best way, your way
[Verse 2]
Growing older, I met a pretty good girl
One day I told her she had to be in my world
After conversation and having some fun
Decided "no more waiting", and we became one
I can recall the night of our very first kiss
It was with so much delight, that I had gotten my wings
I told her I never knew love could be so sublime
She said "your dreams will come true, it's just a matter of time"
[Chorus]
There's a right way, there's a wrong way
Make your way the best way, your way
There's a right way, there's a wrong way
Make your way the best way, your way
[Verse 3]
So if you're thinking which way or not you should go
Let something sink in, only what you've got to know
Daytime will turn into night, nighttime will turn into day
And if you're ever uptight, get hold of what you might say
Trying to live your life for others will not be your groove
And soon you're gonna discover you'll have nothing to prove
All of this will become clearer, put your mind at ease
'Cause when you look in the mirror, you'll see who you've got to please
[Chorus]
There's a right way, there's a wrong way
Make your way the best way, your way
There's a right way (right way), there's a wrong way (wrong way)
Make your way the best way, your way (your way the best way)
[Outro]
Daddy told me "stay in school", he said "son, be nobody's fool"
Mama said "work wise, don't be afraid to ever compromise"
Aaaahh...
