| Advice is cheap you can take it from me | |
| It's yours to keep 'cause opinions are free | |
| Nobody knows about the trouble I've seen | |
| Nobody's perfect, mister, nobody's clean | |
| It costs too much and takes too long to find out too late | |
| Some words are not heard 'til after they're spoken | |
| Your role was protective, your soul was too defective | |
| Some people just don't have a heart to be broken | |
| CHORUS | |
| We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China | |
| If you'd only had a little more faith in me | |
| In lieu of diamonds, gold and platinum reminders will still shine bright | |
| All the king's men and all the king's horses | |
| Can't put you together the way you used to be | |
| We could have been standing on the Great Wall of China | |
| You take a piece of whatever you touch | |
| Too many pieces means you're touching too much | |
| You never win if you can't play it straight | |
| You only beat me if you get me to hate | |
| It must be so lonely to think that you have only | |
| Somebody else's life to live if they let you | |
| I ain't too selective, but it don't take no detective | |
| To find out how fast your friends will forget you | |
| We could have gone all the way to the Great Wall of China | |
| Now all you're going to be is history | |
| Help yourself, it's all you can eat at the Empire Diner tonight | |
| You coulda had class, you coulda been a contender | |
| Charlie, you shoulda looked out for me | |
| You could have been standing, standing on the Great Wall of China | |
| This was not your calling, just look how far you've fallen | |
| I heard your story, man, you've got to be joking | |
| Keep things in perspective, this is my true objective | |
| Why tear this heart out if it's only been broken? | |
| CHORUS |
