I was born yesterday
Trouble seemed so far away
Now it seems my friends no longer call
Everything was better then
I can still remember when
I saw the future with a certain glow

So I turned to stone
As I learned to know
When I turned to stone
Tell myself I'm feeling all alone

Many days have passed me by
Celebrate with sunny skies
Still I know I need a helping hand
And the friends I thought I knew
See them change my every view
Now it seems I'm seeing them as they really are

No I turned to stone
As I learned to know
When I turned to stone
Tell myself I'm feeling all alone

I was born yesterday
Trouble seemed so far away...

[Instrumental]

Oh sweet sixteen when she caught my eye
She made a first time love like an apple pie
I got all choked up when she ran around
She just used me up and she threw me right down
Right down on the ground
I wanted her for my loving plan
But she ran out of town with another man
My friends all knew that she ran around
'Cause she used me up and she threw me right down
Right down on the ground

I was cut up bad when she did her stuff
My heart gave in and my love broke up
I'm a broken man so I play the clown
'Cause she used me up and she threw me right down
Right down on the ground
