  • One life, I'm gonna live it up
    I'm takin' flight, I said, "I'll never get enough"
    Stand tall, I'm young and kind of proud
    I'm on the top, but as long as the music's loud

    If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
    You're thinkin' like a fool 'cause it's a case of do or die
    Out there is a fortune waiting to be had
    If you think I'll let you go, you're mad
    You've got another thing comin'
    You've got another thing comin'

    That's right, here's where the talking ends
    Well, listen, this night there'll be some action spent
    Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots
    I got an ace card comin' down rocks

    If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
    Listen, it ain't foolin' and you'd better think again
    Out there is a fortune waiting to be had
    If you think I'll let it go, you're mad
    You've got another thing comin'
    You've got another thing comin'
    You've got another thing comin'

    In this world we're livin' in, we have our share of sorrow
    Answer now is don't give in, aim for a new tomorrow

    Oh, so hot, no time to take a rest, yeah
    Act tough, ain't room for second best
    Real strong, got me some security
    Hey, I'm a big smash, I'm goin' for infinity, yeah

    If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
    You're thinkin' like a fool 'cause it's a case of do or die
    Out there is a fortune waiting to be had
    If you think I'll let you go, you're mad
    You've got another thing comin'
    You've got another thing comin'
    You've got another thing comin'
    You've got another thing

    (Comin' for you)
    You've got another thing comin'
    (Babe, it's a comin' now, oh)
    You've got another thing comin'
    (Oh yeah, it's a comin' down)
    You've got another thing comin'
    You've got another thing comin'
    (Let's turn around and see us, yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
    You've got another thing comin'
    (It's comin', it's a comin', comin', can you feel it?)
    You've got another thing comin'
    (Feel it, it's comin' now, it's comin' now)
    You've got another thing comin'
    You've got another thing comin'
    You've got another thing comin'
    You've got another thing comin' Writer/s: Glenn Raymond Tipton, Kenneth Downing, Robert Halford
