Ups And Downs Lyrics By Paul Revere 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
    counting so 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 around

    girl i’ve tried to change your way of thinkin’
    tried to make you see
    well that livin’ 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
    but now it’s time to ease my mind
    ’cause there’s lots of pain upon this earth
    and girl i’ve had my money’s worth
    i have had my ups and downs and all around

    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
