Song Lyrics

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
