[Verse 1]
I've learned a lesson in my life
A lesson in my life
Always be careful of mankind
Be careful of mankind
They'll make promises today, but tomorrow change their mind
They make promises today, but tomorrow change their mind

[Chorus]
I'm an upfull man and I love upfull people
I'm a progressive man and I love progressive people
I'm a truthful man and I love truthful people
I'm an honest man and I love honest people

[Verse 2]
I've learned a lesson in my life
A lesson in my life
Always be careful of your friends
Be careful of your friends
Money can make friendship end
Make friendship end
For a single pound they will tear you down

[Chorus]
But I'm an upfull man and I love upfull people
I'm a progressive man and I love progressive people
I'm a truthful man and I love truthful people
I'm a determined man, I love determined people
[Verse 2]
I've learned a lesson in my life
A lesson in my life
You just can't please everybody
So, you got to please yourself
You just can't please everybody
So, you got to please yourself
You can't please everybody
You better please yourself

[Outre]
I'm an upfull man, I love upfull people
I'm a progressive man, I love progressive people
I'm a conscious man, I love conscious people
I'm an honest man, I love honest people
I'm a determined man, I love determined
I'm a genuine man and I love genuine people
I'm a three-eyed man, I love three-eyed people
I'm an upfull man, I love upfull people
I'm a progressive man and I love progressive people
I've learned a lesson in my life
Oh, yes, some lessons in my life
