Lyrics by Bernd Harmsen she walked out on me 'cause she had found me out it was to be expected I'd acted carelessly for crying out loud I'd long since been suspected they gave me the sack 'cause of my absence rate it was to be expected I'd acted carelessly so as of today I'm jobless and dejected back to zero restart at square one back to zero oh, what had I done back to zero the flood took my home the house was laid to waste it was to be expected I'd acted carelessly unpaid insurance rates - so my claim was rejected back to zero restart at square one back to zero oh, what had I done back to zero I may be back to zero but I'm not where I've begun I'm standing in the shadow but I can see the sun I may have lost quite often but much still can be won back to zero restart at square one back to zero but much still can be won back to zero
