That's equally effective I'm no shining star I wonder would I guide you well So one day you could find yourself Do you think you would make the mistakes that I did as a kid If you knew all the things that I know now And I'd give you all I have But I don't really have that much to show now No, I don't really have that much to show now No, I don't really have that much to show now No, I don't really have that much to show now
