Lyrics Bill Withers

Bill Withers

World Keeps Going Around

Looking at the pictures of the places that he?s been

Old man told me what he found

Said it don?t make no difference whether you?re out or whether you?re in

You know the world keeps going around and around

Going around and around

Said he looked at the places, talk to the faces that he seen

Then he turned the pictures upside down

Said it don?t make no difference how many places that you?ve been

Said the world keeps going around and around

Going around and around

Then he put up the pictures shook his head and with a grin

He talked about his ups and downs

Said it don?t make no difference how many fixes you?ve been in

You know the world keeps going around and around

Going around and around

Betty Joe Johnson, don?t you pull no Daisy Mae on me

Daisy Mae she did me dirty, so I had to leave her for Anna Lee

Anna Lee she had big street feet, she spends her nights out on the road

So I started seeing Sally Jackson, I had to let old Anna Lee go

Sally Jackson was a player, had another man along with me

So I just took me one step backwards, checked up on old Anna Lee

Anna Lee still had them street feet

Like to dance all night and sleep all day

So I just took one more step backwards, checked up on old Daisy Mae

Daisy Mae is still doing dirty, so I tell you what I had to do

I had to go just one step further, Betty Joe Johnson

And that?s how I know you

Said he looked at the places, talk to the faces that he seen

Then he turned the pictures upside down

Said it don?t make no difference how many places that you?ve been

Said the world keeps going around and around

Going around and around
