Another Friday night and I'm here singing on my own
You called me up to say, "My friend, you must be getting old
We're going out tonight, you'd better lose your bedtime clothes
Now don't you think it's time for you to finally let go"
'Cause I've been a world away
Getting wrapped up in yesterday
You cut me down, cut me down
You caught me when I was weak
You cut me down, cut me down
And put me back on my feet
When I was hanging up so high
You helped me to the ground
You cut me down, cut me down
We took the bus to town and it was only half past nine
You said you knew a bar and someone working there that I would like
And who'd have thought that there were stars and they could shine so bright?
And who'd have thought that I would finally feel alright?
'Cause I've been a world away
Getting wrapped up in yesterday
You cut me down, cut me down
You caught me when I was weak
You cut me down, cut me down
And put me back on my feet
When I was hanging up so high
You helped me to the ground
You cut me down, cut me down
Woo, woo-ooh
Woo, woo-ooh
Who'd have thought that there were stars and they could shine so bright?
And who'd have thought that I would finally feel alright?
'Cause I've been a world away
'Til you showed me that I could change
You cut me down, cut me down
You caught me when I was weak
You cut me down, cut me down
And put me back on my feet
When I was hanging up so high
You helped me to the ground
You cut me down, cut me down
You cut me down, cut me down
