Tyrone Davis - What Goes Up (Must Come Down) lyrics

rate me

I left you, oh, Lord have mercy<br />

Without saving a dime<br />

Five little hungry babies<br />

All in one room, crying<br />

<br />

I thought I was so hip (a big man)<br />

A big man out in the world, yeah<br />

I thought there was only<br />

Two things in life to love for<br />

A new car and big, fine girl<br />

<br />

But I've had them both<br />

Ooh, Lord, that's no joke<br />

I had plenty of money in my pocket<br />

Lord, when I used to always be broke<br />

<br />

But I can't forget words my baby said<br />

She said, what goes up<br />

I know, one day has got to come down<br />

Yeah, she said what goes around<br />

Sure comes around, mm<br />

<br />

What goes up<br />

I know, one day has got to come down<br />

Lord, have mercy<br />

<br />

Now, bad luck has turned on me<br />

I lost everything I had<br />

No one has no sympathy for me<br />

Ooh, they all glad to see me doing bad<br />

<br />

I'm right back where I started<br />

In my pocket, I don't have a dime<br />

Girl, I know I failed that day<br />

When I left you and the babies<br />

In that one room, crying<br />

<br />

A voice came to me<br />

It came out of nowhere<br />

It said, go home<br />

Go on back home, boy<br />

I know there's somewhere there<br />

That she'll care<br />

<br />

But I can't forget<br />

The words my baby said<br />

She said, what goes up<br />

I know, one day has got to come down<br />

Yeah, she said what goes around<br />

Sure comes around, she said<br />

<br />

What goes up<br />

I know, one day has got to come down<br />

Then she said, what goes around<br />

Sure comes around, mmm<br />

<br />

What goes up, you just watch and see<br />

Don't it come back down<br />

You got to reap just what you sow<br />

What goes up, Lord, have mercy<br />

Got to come back down<br />

<br />

What goes around, sure comes around<br />

What goes around, sure comes around
