Turning Over a New Leaf

Hop off a train Into a new town It's exactly what I needed I can't explain What I have found But it's exactly where I long to be I'm in charge now, But I don't know how The stars must have aligned All these friendly faces Erase any traces Of worry from my mind So it's time I turned over A new leaf... And if you say That you're really here to stay I can do my best to play my part And give you the start you need To succeed And if you're unsure, I will be the cure I will be here on the job Waiting for you, loyal and true, 'Cause that's what friends do! Now I know that I'm bound to roam Even though it pains me to leave this home I gotta catch 'em all, And slide between worlds, I gotta smash my foes, And see the dreams of two plumbers unfurl There's more to life Than catching fish from the seas, I'm tired of weeds and getting Stung by bees, so it's Time to leave the mayor's chair The truth really is I can't always be there So it's time I turned over A new leaf... I hope you'll say That you're coming back some day I will do my best to fill your void Me and Lloyd will try to scrape by And if you're so sure That you'll be fine alone Then I will be too, waiting for you Loyal and true, 'Cause that's what friends should do... I've been away for so long I wonder where he's gone I wonder what they're (he's) doing right now And now I find That you're on my mind So it's time I turned over A new leaf... I hope you'll say That you're finally here to stay (I'm finally here to stay!) I'm so glad you're back in our little town Without you around, nothing's been the same But it's fine! I always knew I'd (hoped you'd) change my (your) mind Because I (you) knew I was waiting for you Loyal and true... That's what friends do! It's what we do-o-o-o-! That's what friends do!
