Ups and Downs

[Verse 1]
Now, things was looking rosy, baby
Everything was fine
You never made no sign
That you had changed your mind

[Verse 2]
I guess I was mistaken, girl
Counting so on you
What else could I do?
Time to pay my dues

[Chorus]
Well, girl, I've been torn up before
But I can't handle that once more
Well, I've been down for a long, long time
And now it's time to ease 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

[Verse 3]
Girl, I've tried to change your way of thinkin'
Tried to make you see
That livin' here with me
Is where you ought to be

[Verse 4]
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

[Chorus]
And now I've been torn up before
But I can't handle that once more
I've been down for a long, long time
But now it's time to ease my mind
It's all because of pain upon this earth
And girl, I've had my money's worth
I have had my ups and downs and all around

[Outro]
I've been up, down
All around, now, baby (Up, down, all around)
I've been up, I've been down
I've been all around, now, baby (Up, down, all around)
Yeah, we've both been up and down
And all around, now, baby (Up, down, all around)
You go up, go on down
We go all around, now, baby (Up, down, all around)
Yes, now I'm up, I'm down
All around, now, baby (Up, down, all around)...
