If I were an actor on the silver screen And all the pressures got me down I wonder would you stay around Once in a while And if I were a singer in a rock and roll band That never quite got off the ground I wonder would you be around Once in a while Help me down this lonely road won't ya Help me carry this load to ya I did try once but I wanna try twice Cos I wore my heart on my sleeve And my jacket got torn And I just don't think that I can wear it And if I were a failure Would you walk away? Or would you stay here by my side? Give me back my sense of pride All over again, do it again Help me down this lonely road won't ya Help me carry this load to ya I did try once but I wanna try twice Cos I wore my heart on my sleeve And my jacket got torn And I just don't think that I can wear it again Cos I wore my heart on my sleeve And my jacket got torn And I just don't think that I can wear it again.
