You say you want all the best life has to give
Well, have you considered the price of the life you want to live
Takes more than wishing to make a dream come true
Open your eyes and the answers are there for you

You've got to change your ways
You've got to change your ways

You say the system's to blame but if I were you
I'd learn the rules of the game and play it too
Sooner or later, you have to realize
You've got to take that first step, no more alibis

You've got to change your ways
You've got to change your ways

If you've got a chip on your shoulder that holds you down
How long will you wait till you finally come around?
The message is clear, it's all up to you to try
Time is so precious, don't let the world pass you by

You've got to change your ways
You've got to change your ways

Change your ways
Change your ways
(Just change your ways)
Change your ways
(You got to change your ways)
Change your ways
(Change your ways)
Change your ways
(Just change your ways)
Change your ways
(Change your ways)
Change your ways
