That's The Way The World Goes 'Round Lyrics - Norah Jones

1 I know a guy

2 That's got a lot to lose

3 He's a pretty nice guy

4 But he's kind of confused

5 He's got muscles in his head

6 That ain't never been used

7 Thinks he own half of this town

8 Starts drinking heavy

9 Gets a big red nose

10 Beats his old lady

11 With a rubber hose

12 Then he takes her out to dinner

13 And buys her new clothes

14 That's the way that the world goes 'round.

15 That's the way that the world goes 'round

16 You're up one day

17 And the next you're down

18 It's half an inch of water

19 And you think you're gonna drown

20 That's the way that the world goes 'round.

21 I was sitting in the bathtub

22 Counting my toes

23 When the radiator broke

24 Water all froze

25 I got stuck in the ice

26 Without my clothes

27 Naked as the eyes of a clown

28 I was crying ice cubes

29 Hoping I'd croak

30 When the sun come through the window

31 The ice all broke

32 I stood up and laughed

33 Thought it was a joke

34 That's the way that the world goes 'round
