l IV init down

My ship came and she sunk it
I was the toast of the town and she drunk it
I had a run of good luck and she ran it right into the ground
And nows shes puttin on a show and
I get to play the clown
I had the wind in my sails and she took it
I had the world by the tail and she shook it
I reached out for a lifeline and she threw me a noose
I got the short end of the chicken and
She got the golden goose
Shes livin it up, and Im tryin to live it down
Just when I got it all together,
Its all about to come unwound
Everbody laughing behind my back, baby
Sure is a sad old sound
Shes out there livin it up and Im tryin to live it down
Oh man Im having a hard time
I wouldnt talk to a dog the way that woman talks to me
Sheesh, and money
I aint got no more money
She done spent all my money
Its bad bad business , bad business
I had my ducks in a row and she shot em
I had my eggs in a basket and she dropped em
I her out of the house but she was back like a boomerang
Sometime you get the honey
Sometime all you get is the sting
Shes livin it up, and Im tryin to live it down
Just when I got it all together,
Its all about to come unwound
Everbody laughing behind my back, baby,
Sure is a sad old sound
Shes out there livin it up and Im tryin to live it down
Shes livin it up, and I may never live it down
