[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
I was out in the city
~#**************#~
I was out in the rain
~#**************#~
I was feeling down hearted
~#**************#~
I was drinking again
~#**************#~
I was standing by the bridges
~#**************#~
Where the dark water flows
~#**************#~
I was talking to a stranger
~#**************#~
About times long ago
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
I was young, I was foolish
~#**************#~
I was angry, I was vain
~#**************#~
I was charming, I was lucky
~#**************#~
Tell me how, how Ive changed
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Now Im out, oh, out of control
~#**************#~
Now Im out, oh, out of control, yeah
~#**************#~
Oh, help me now, yeah
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
And the girls in the doorway
~#**************#~
And the boys on the game
~#**************#~
And the drunks and the homeless
~#**************#~
They all know me
~#**************#~
And the police on the corner
~#**************#~
Give a nod and a wave
~#**************#~
As they point me
~#**************#~
To my final destination
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
I was young, I was foolish
~#**************#~
I was angry, I was vain
~#**************#~
I was charming, I was lucky
~#**************#~
Tell me how, how Ive changed
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Now Im out, oh, out of control, oh
~#**************#~
Now Im out, whoa, out of control
~#**************#~
Whoa, help me now
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
In the hotel, Im excited
~#**************#~
By the smile on her face
~#**************#~
But I wondered
~#**************#~
How was time gonna change her?
~#**************#~
[Pre-Chorus]
~#**************#~
I was young, I was foolish
~#**************#~
I was angry, I was vain
~#**************#~
I was charming, I was out there
~#**************#~
Tell me how, how Ive changed
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
Now Im out, whoa, out of control, oh yes
~#**************#~
Oh, Im out, oh, out of control
~#**************#~
Oh yes, I am
