Listen, all you people
Listen, though it's hard
I'm gonna give you a word of advice
I ain't gonna say it twice
'Cause it's definitely not nice
Okay, okay
But all I got to say is
Stay in your own backyard
Now put your drinks on the table
While I spin you a fable
Tell her straight, my point
I once was a girl with traveling eyes
Fell outta love with a hundred guys
Once was a guy who swore he'd get her
Swore on the very day he met her
She was a guest, she was a groove
But she had to be on the move
She more she strained, the more he tried
To hold her harder, and keep her tight
Would not let her get outta sight
Watched her day and watched her night
And that's how it went, alright, alright
That's how it went, alright, alright
That's how it went, alright, alright
That's how it went, alright
She didn't wanna stick to the letter
She had eyes for anything better
Any old place the grass was greener
Any old place where the air was cleaner
She got bored and he got meaner
What's today and that
And that's how it went, alright, alright
That's how it went, alright, alright
That's how it went, alright, alright
That's how it went, alright
Then came a guy across the street
Head of a gang with a different beat
Then came a day when he looked over
Man, in a minute, something drove her
She had to go, she had to get
But her lover said: No, not yet
She tried to run, she saw the knife
He lost his head, and don't you know she lost her life
He brought her down just like a paper kite
Whilst her dress turned red from white
And that's how it went, alright, alright
That's how it went, alright, alright
That's how it went, alright, alright
That's how it went, alright
