Now, things was looking golden, baby
Everything was fine
You never made no sign
That you had changed your mind

I guess I was mistaken, girl
To count so on you
What else could I do
Time to pay my dues

Well girl, I've been torn up before
But I can't handle that once more
Well I been down for a long long time
And now it's time to reach my mind
There's lots of pain upon this earth
Girl, I've had my money's worth
I have had my ups and downs and all around

Girl, I've tried to change your way of thinkin'
Tried to make you see
Well, livin' here with me
Is where you ought to be

But it didn't seem to make no difference
It never changed your world
Or stopped your social twirl
You're still the same old girl

And now, I've been torn up before
But I can't handle that once more
I been down for a long long time
But now it's time to reach my mind
'Cause there's lots of pain upon this earth
And girl, I've had my money's worth
I have had my ups and downs and all around

I've been up, down, all around now baby
I've been up, I been down, I been all around now baby
Yeah we've both been up and down and all around baby
You go up, you go down, you go all around now baby
Yes, I'm up, I'm down, all around now baby
Up and down and all around

Shh, ahh
Seems this worlds got you down
Your feelin' bad vibrations frown
Well, open your eyes girl, look at me
I'm gonna show you how it ought to be

We're gonna' have a good thing
Such a good thing baby

And when your world don't seem just right
And life's gettin' you uptight
You can change that wrong to right (wrong to right)
Cause I was there myself last night (there last night)

Girl, I really had a good thing
Such a good thing baby
I, I, I won't have no one now
No one around, to bring you down
Well...groovy world, girl
Let me bring you to a good, good, good, good thing girl

Gotta hear me, you can't please them all, should you try
They don't care if you live or die
Cause their losers, what a shame (what a shame)
I'm gonna show you to a brand new game (brand new game)

Girl, we're gonna have a good thing
Such a good thing, baby

I won't tell you no,no, no lies
When I'm through, you'll realize
For the first time it seems right (feels so right)
I'm gonna stay right here tonight (stay tonight)

Girl, we'll really have a good thing
Such a good thing, baby

Nobody, no one around, to bring you down
Well...groovy world, girl
Let me bring you to a good, good, good, good thing
Such a good thing, girl
Such a good thing, baby
Such a, such a, such a, good thing, baby

Girl, you thought you found the answer on that magic carpet ride last night
But when you wake up in the mornin' the world still gets you uptight
Well, here's nothin' that you ain't tried To fill the emptiness inside
But when you come back down, girl
Still ain't feelin' right

(And don't it seem like)
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
(Oh, you don't need kicks, girl)
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
(You just need help, girl)
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

No, but not with kicks
You just need help, girl
Well you think you're gonna find yourself a little piece of paradise
But it ain't happened yet, so girl, you better think twice
Don't you see no matter what you do
You'll never run away from you
And if you keep on runnin'
You'll have to pay the price

(And don't it seem like)
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
(Oh, you don't need kicks, girl)
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
(You just need help, girl)
Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight

No, you don't need kicks
To help you face the world each day
That road goes nowhere
I'm gonna help you find yourself another way

(And don't it seem like)
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
(Oh, you don't need kicks, girl)
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind

Before you find out it's too late, girl
You better get straight
