My pledge

Next year I want everything to be different
I want to be my best friend again
Have values lasting longer than a one night stand

But this is not my first vow or pledge
I wasn't raised to live on the edge
But when I am drunk I always tend to forget

I was raised to be well-mannered
Striving and achieving mattered
I earned everyone's respect for what I did

I worked hard, people said I was smart
Now I am found in every men's bed with an empty heart
My moral history is totally off guard

I must stand up again, raise my fist
Be who I used to be on every A-list
And regain those morals and values my life has missed
