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 ....
