Turning a New Leaf - Nazareth

Dragged up, raised tough

Born a mistake

Learned fast the golden rule

Never give, just take

Did no favors, gave no quarter

You all know the story 'bout

The lamb’s broadway slaughter.

Turning a new leaf

Turning a new leaf

Turning a new leaf

Street wise, cat’s eye’s

Showbusiness smile

Lookin' for today’s mark

On the golden mile

Book wise, movie eyed

So cool dudes.

Ain’t gonna do no talking

When they find out they been used.

Turning a new leaf

Turning a new leaf

Turning a new leaf

Got to make some time

Go through the changes

My whole life needs some rearrangin'

Self styled reject

Ambitious wisher

Also ran life style

Guaranteed user, like a,

Campaign promise from a three time loser

Got to make my move soon

Because, beggars can’t be choosers,

So I’m,

Turning a new leaf

Turning a new leaf

Turning a new leaf
