(Eric Carmen) I've been up too high I've been down too low I've been searchin' for somethin' With nowhere to go Thought I'd make it alone But I'm so far from home In a town full of desperate fools Oh, the sun beats down On the L.A. scene But you can't feel the cold When the grass looks so green And the games that I've played Were not wort what I paid In a town full of desperate fools I've been takin' my life One day at a time Tryin' to piece it all together But I know in my mind That I'm startin' to be What they want me to be And I wonder sometimes What's becoming of me I've been takin' my life One day at a time Tryin' to piece it all together But I know in my mind That I'm startin' to be What they want me to be And I wonder sometimes What's becoming of me ' Cause I've been up too high I've been down too low I've been searchin' for somethin' With nowhere to go And I suppose it's been fun But I guess I'm just one In a town full of desperate fools A town full of desperate fools
