Ups & Downs Songtext
von Paul Revere and the Raiders

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

I guess I was mistaken, girl
Now it′s all 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'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 arounds


Girl, I′ve tried to change your way of thinking
Tried to make you see
That, uh, living 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've been down for a long, long time
And 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 arounds

I′ve been up, down, all around, now, baby (Up, down, all around, now)
I've been up, I′ve been down, I've been all around, now, baby (Up, down, all around, now)
Yeah, we′ve both been up and down and all around, now, baby (Up, down, all around, now)
You go up, you go down, we go all around, now, baby (Up, down, all around, now)
Yes, I'm up, I'm down, all around, now, baby (Up, down, all around, now)
