As the old year becomes a memory
To add to what we’ve got
It’s time to start afresh again
And find a brand new slot

To fit in place a clean start
To walk the road ahead
To get rid of the old you
And start again instead

We have all the best intentions
It’s the same as every year
We’re gonna do it this time
Give my word
Now don’t you fear

Didn’t have the time these past days
To fullfill what you forgot
Gonna make it right this new year
Tryin something
That you’re not

Time to throw out all the pretence
File the stranger under
No
Lookin on into your future
Knowin where you wanna go

The first month you’re still dreamin
Know you’re gonna see it through
This time it’s gonna be right
And you know just what to do

We have all the best intentions
It’s the same as every year
We’re gonna do it this time
Give my word
Now don’t you fear

Give my word now don’t you fear

Summer comes and you keep sayin
That you’ll start again today
But life is rushin by you
Too short hours in the day

Time to throw out all the pretence
File the stranger under
No
Lookin on into your future
Knowin where you wanna go

Here we are in late December
New year’s comin round again
Lookin back at all those lost days
This time won’t be the same

We all have the best intentions
It’s the same as every year
We’re gonna do it this time
Give my word
Now don’t you fear

Time to throw out all the pretence
File the stranger under
No
Lookin out into your future
Knowin where you wanna go

Knowin where you wanna go

We have all the best intentions
It’s the same as every year

Yeah, it’s the same as every year

All those best intentions

Yeah, just the same as every year…..
