 Now, things was looking golden, baby

 Everything was fine

 You never made no sign

 That you had changed your mind

 

 I guess I was mistaken, girl

 To count so on you

 What else could I do

 Time to pay my dues

 

 Well girl, I've been torn up before

 But I can't handle that once more

 Well I been down for a long long time

 And now it's time to reach my mind

 There's lots of pain upon this earth

 Girl, I've had my money's worth

 I have had my ups and downs and all around

 

 Girl, I've tried to change your way of thinkin'

 Tried to make you see

 Well, livin' here with me

 Is where you ought to be

 

 But it didn't seem to make no difference

 It never changed your world

 Or stopped your social twirl

 You're still the same old girl

 

 And now, I've been torn up before

 But I can't handle that once more

 I been down for a long long time

 But now it's time to reach my mind

 'Cause there's lots of pain upon this earth

 And girl, I've had my money's worth

 I have had my ups and downs and all around

 

 I've been up, down, all around now baby (up, down, all around)

 I've been up, I been down, I been all around now baby (up, down, all
around)

 Yeah we've both been up and down and all around baby(up, down, all around)

 You go up, you go down, you go all around now baby (up, down, all around)

 Yes, I'm up, I'm down, all around now baby (up, down, all around)

 Up and down and all around
