Now things was looking rosy, baby
Everything was fine
You never made no sign
That you had changed your mind
Well, I guess I was mistaken, girl
Counting so on you
What else could I do?
It's time to pay my dues
Well, girl,
I've been tore up before I can handle that once more
I've been down for a long,
long time Now it's time to ease my mind
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 Well,
I tried to change your way of thinking
I tried to make you see
That living here with me
Is the way you want to be
Girl,
it didn't seem to make no difference You never changed your world
Or stopped your social twirl You're still the same old girl
Well,
now I've been tore up before I can handle that once more
I've been down for a long,
long time Now it's time to ease my mind
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
I've been up,
down,
all around now I've been up,
down, all around now
