Verse 2:
Every time I get the inspiration
To go change things around
No one wants to help me look for places
Where new things might be found
Where can I turn
When my fair-weather friends cop out
What's it all about
Each time things start to happen again
I think I got something good goin' for myself and what goes wrong
(repeat chorus)

according to Mark Linett (Endless Summer Quarterly, 12/94), the
layered vocal parts on these lines are:
(lead vocal): Sometimes I feel very sad
Ain't found the right thing I can put my heart and soul into
People I know don't want to be where I'm at
O quando per e, un dia per e [Italian? Portuguese?]
