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 |
