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
