That's the Way the World Goes Round Songtext
von Norah Jones

I know a guy got a lot to lose
He′s a pretty nice fellow
Kind of confused
He's got muscles in his head
Ain′t never been used
Thinks he own half of this town
Starts drinking heavy, gets a big red nose
And then he beats his old lady with a rubber hose
Takes her out to dinner, buys her new clothes
That's the way the world goes 'round

That′s the way that the world goes ′round
You're up one day, next you′re down
It's half an inch of water, you think you′re gonna drown
That's the way that the world goes ′round


I was sitting in the bathtub counting my toes
When the radiator broke
Water all froze
I got stuck in the ice without my clothes
Naked as the eyes of a clown
I was crying ice cubes
Hoping I'd croak
When the sun came through the window
The ice all broke
Could just stood up and laughed
I thought it was a joke
That's the way the world goes ′round

That′s the way that the world goes 'round
You′re up one day, the next you're down
It′s half an inch of water
You think you're gonna drown
That′s the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes ′round
You′re up one day, the next you're down
It′s half an inch of water
You think you're gonna drown
That′s the way that the world goes 'round
That′s the way that the world goes 'round
That's the way that the world goes ′round
