That's the way it goes
|
you're going to have to
|
see it through eventually
|
listen, I propose that
|
everybody show
|
some sort of sympathy
|
'cause all the highs and lows
|
are really wearing out
|
its elasticity
|
|
there's no bouncing back
|
no recovery
|
put it out of its misery
|
|
If you take my devotion
|
and figure it as something
|
you're due to accrue
|
it's only emotion
|
winding up the motion
|
we are going through
|
and don't it break your heart
|
to watch its little quiver
|
on the avenue
|
|
'til it's crawling back
|
on its only knee
|
put it out of its misery
|
I can hear mercy mercy me
|
letting this go on and on and on
|
endlessly
|
|
That's the way it goes
|
everybody knows we're through,
|
so you see
|
your I-told-you-sos
|
weren't any help
|
and now they're boring me
|
listen I propose
|
that we might indulge
|
a little luxury
|
but there's no going back
|
and it falls on me
|
that it is murder
|
'cause I know baby, only you
|
can put me out of my misery
|
