That’s the Way Life Goes

[Verse 1]
As I walk along the street each day
These are the words I hear some people say
Many a girl never dig a guy
Until he is riding high
If today you're up on top
And tomorrow you're right down flat
Everybody seems to turn their back

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You're all alone, on your own
Without no home, no place to roam
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
That's the way life goes
Tomorrow, one never knows
That's the way life goes today
Don't you know?
That's the way life goes
Tomorrow, one never knows
That's the way life goes today

[Verse 2]
Now, another fella told me that
And I believe this for a fact
Nobody knows you when you're down and out
They make you feel you're left out
If you get back on your feet again
Then everybody wants to be your friend
Telling you on them you can depend

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Now you're a king, got everything
Joy bells ring and you can sing
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

[Chorus]
That's the way life goes
Tomorrow, one never knows
That's the way life goes today
Don't you know?
That's the way life goes
Tomorrow, one never knows, no, no, no
That's the way life goes today

[Outro]
Hey, don't you know?
That's the way life goes
Tomorrow, one never knows
That's the way life goes today
Hey, don't you know?
That's the way life goes
Tomorrow, one never knows
