[Verse 1]
One life at a time
One life at a time
If you're busy living yours
You won't be living mine
One life at a time
One life at a time
That ugly noise you're making
Sounds just like a whine

[Chorus]
Sometimes you need a brother
Sometimes you help one another
I'm afraid that my brother
Might turn out to be you
Sometimes it's hard to say
What you got to say anyway
I'm going to have to say
That I'm not thrilled about you
I'm not thrilled about you
You

[Verse 2]
One life at a time
One life at a time
You're building me a prison
Whеre freedom is a crime
One lifе at a time
One life at a time
I won't be Cinderella
In your psycho pantomime
[Chorus]
Sometimes you need a brother
Sometimes you help one another
I'm afraid that my brother
Might turn out to be you
Sometimes you have to say
What you got to say anyway
I'm going to have to say
I'm not thrilled about you
I'm not thrilled about you
You

[Chorus]
Sometimes you need a brother
Sometimes you help one another
I'm afraid that my brother
Might turn out to be you
Sometimes it's hard to say
What you got to say anyway
But I'm going to have to say
That I'm not thrilled about you
I'm not thrilled about you
About you

[Outro]
One life at a time
One life at a time
One life at a time
One life at a time
