I saw a man on the street he was lookin' for money his hand was open wide

And if he only knew what he really needs he needs a brand new life

I saw a couple walkin' hand in hand their noses stuck up in the air

They were livin' the good life, plenty of money and they didn't have a care



But baby have I got some news for you

You ain't gonna buy nothin' you can't lose

So throw it all away, and take a step back

There's so much waiting for you of what you lack



I saw the same man again yesterday with desperation in his eyes,

And if he only knew what he really needs, he needs a brand new life

If I could only be the one to tell him what he needs to know

If I could only be the man with seeds to sow



I said baby have I got some news for you

You ain't gonna buy nothin' you can't lose

So throw it all away, and take a step back
