[Verse 1]
I was out in the city
I was out in the rain
I was feeling down hearted
I was drinking again
I was standing by the bridges
Where the dark water flows
I was talking to a stranger
About times long ago

[Pre-Chorus]
I was young, I was foolish
I was angry, I was vain
I was charming, I was lucky
Tell me how, how I've changed

[Chorus]
Now I'm out, oh, out of control
Now I'm out, oh, out of control, yeah
Oh, help me now, yeah

[Verse 2]
And the girls in the doorway
And the boys on the game
And the drunks and the homeless
They all know me
And the police on the corner
Give a nod and a wave
As they point me
To my final destination
[Pre-Chorus]
I was young, I was foolish
I was angry, I was vain
I was charming, I was lucky
Tell me how, how I've changed

[Chorus]
Now I'm out, oh, out of control, oh
Now I'm out, whoa, out of control
Whoa, help me now

[Verse 3]
In the hotel, I'm excited
By the smile on her face
But I wondered
How was time gonna change her?

[Pre-Chorus]
I was young, I was foolish
I was angry, I was vain
I was charming, I was out there
Tell me how, how I've changed

[Chorus]
Now I'm out, whoa, out of control, oh yes
Oh, I'm out, oh, out of control
Oh yes, I am
