Same Old Story (Same Old Song)

Same old story, same old song

Goes all right, till it goes all wrong

Now you're going, then you're gone

Same old story, same old song

Same old story, same old song

Goes all right, till it goes all wrong

Now you're going, then you're gone

Same old story, same old song

One hand will take, one hand will give

That's all we know and that is how we live

One day hello and the next day goodbye

And everyone does their part

Same old story, same old song

Goes all right, baby, till it goes all wrong

Now you're going, then you're gone

Same old story, same old song

One builds you up, one tears you down

To some you're a saint and to others you're a clown

What can you do? I just go on, I see it through

And hold on to what is left of you

Same old story, same old song

Goes all right, till it goes all wrong

Now you're going, then you're gone

Same old story, same old song

Used to drive a Cadillac, had a house on the hill

And money by the bank, carry on by bubble bath

With the finest clothes, never looked at the tags

Till I went too crazy and it went all bad

Lost all the fortune that I thought I had

Thought I made it out by the scenes, I'm right back

Back to hard living, back to hard times

Back to working hard for the nickel n dime

Back to the city with the dirt and crack

Got me feeling like I wanna go commit some crimes

Same old story with the same old grime

Guess the thoughts I had, had never come to shine

Same old story each and every time

Each and every time

Same old story each and every time

One builds you up, one tears you down

To some you're a saint and to others you're a clown

What can you do? I see it through

And hold on to what is left of you

Same old story, same old song

Goes all right, until it goes all wrong

Now you're going, then you're gone

Same old story, baby, same old song

Same old story, same old song

Now you're going and then, baby,

Goes all wrong

Now you're going and then you're gone

Same old story, same old song
