Intro

Now, things was looking golden, baby, everything was fine.

You never made no sign that you had changed your miiii..nd.

I guess I was mistaken, girl, to count so on you.

What else could I do..time to pay my dues..well, girl..

Chorus

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 beeee.

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 girrrrl..

Chorus

And now, 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.

Outro

 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.)(Fade.)
