That's The Way Life Goes

As I walk along the street each day

These are the words I hear some people say

Many a girl will never dig a guy

Until he's riding high

If today you are up on top

And tomorrow you are right down flat

Ev'rybody seems to turn their back

You're all alone, on your own

Without a home, no place to roam

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

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

Now another fellow 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 ev'rybody wants to be your friend

Telling you, on them you can depend

Now you're a king, got ev'rything

Joy bells ring, and you can sing

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

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 ....
