Years of Decay
"If I had his money, I could do things my way?"
Little they know that it's so hard to find
One rich man in ten with a satisfied mind.
Once I was waitin' for fortune and fame
Everything that I dreamed for to get a start in life's game
Suddenly it happened, I lost every dime
But I'm richer by far with a satisfied mind
Money can't buy back your youth when you're old
Or a friend when you're lonely, or a love that's grown cold
The wealthiest person is a pauper at times
Compared to the man with a satisfied mind

Ego
Written by Ricky & Marty Wilde
All the time I try to reason with you
But I just can't seem to make you understand
Nothing seems to ever really get through
Can't you feel emotions like any other man
You never cared for anyone (anyone)
You never cared for anyone (at all)
Any love that you've ever given me
You only gave me for your ego
Look at how you wanted all of my tears
Any time you felt you needed security
All the nights you let me out on my own
That's the thing that you just can't give back to me
You never cared for anyone (anyone)
You never cared for anyone (at all)
Any love that you've ever given me
You only gave me for your ego
You're only plan it seems is look after number one
You just can't comprehend what it means to love someone
Stay away, get lost, get out of my life
Can't you see the changes now and at last I'm free
Any plans I have just don't include you
And that's the one thing you won't take from me
You never cared for anyone (anyone)
You never cared for anyone (at all)
Any love that you've ever given me
You only gave me for your ego
Every time I tried to reason with you
But it seemed that I never made you understand
Nothing ever seemed to ever really get through
Can't you feel emotions like any other man
You never cared for anyone (anyone)
You never cared for anyone (at all)
Any love that you've ever given me
You only gave me for your ego
