You had it so good for so long   You thought you were so very strong   You had too much glory   Just a little too much, too soon      You thought you could never be wrong   You would always buy your songs   What a sad, sad story   It's an age-old story      Every man will get his chance   To play the fool   Every time he takes a chance   And thinks he's cool      Sonny think twice   Before you close the door   Take my advice   Your love can't take much more   Something about your life is wrong   When the lady who loves you more is gone      And you don't know what to do   When it all comes down to you      You feel so afraid to be loved   Because you see too much   What a sad, sad story   But you brought it upon yourself      You gave it all up for fun   Now you got nowhere to run   With your sad, sad story   It's an age-old story      Every man will get his chance   To play the fool   Every time he takes his chances   And thinks he's cool   (Not to be alone)      Sonny think twice   Before you close the door   Take my advice   Your love can't take much more   Something about your life is wrong   When the lady who loves you more is gone   Sonny think twice      And you don't know what to do   When it all comes down to you      Don't think that she don't care   About your Saturday night affair   And you better watch out   Somebody is gonna be there      Sonny think twice   Before you close the door, whoa, oh   Take my advice   Your love can't take much more   Something about your life is wrong   When the lady who loves you more is gone      Sonny think twice   Before you close the door, ooh   Take my advice   Your love can't take much more   Something about your life is wrong   When the lady who loves you more is gone      Sonny think twice   Before you close the door, ooh   Take my advice   Your love can't take much more   Something about your life is wrong   When the lady who loves you more is gone
