Verse 1:
Mama told me I should always be careful
Daddy told me I should always be respectful
And I know I haven't always been
Somebody you could put your trust in but
I'm here to prove that I'm a brand new man for you
I've given up my old ways
I found myself a new place
A place to try and build the life I gave away
I don't remember why I gave it away

Pre:
This is a brand new start
I hope you see in my heart
That I know just who I am
And what you are
I know you are a good thing

Chorus:
You don't leave a good thing for a good time
No No
You don't scrap a whole song cause of one rhyme
You lose it all you lose it all and then you soon find
That you don't leave a good thing for a good time

Verse 2:
I was a man that i just couldn't be proud of
So I traded a quiet understanding for some loud fun
I broke a promise that I would always be
The kind of prince I know a princess needs
But I'm here to prove that I'm a brand new man for you
Pre:
This is a brand new start
I hope you see in my heart
That I know just who I am
And what you are
Well I know you are a good thing

Chorus:
And you dont leave a good thing for a good time
No No
You don't scrap a whole song cause of one rhyme
You lose it all you lose it all and then you soon find
That you don't leave a good thing for a good time
You don't leave, you don't leave
