        What goes on here in your mind
        I think that I am falling down
        What goes on here in your mind
        I think that I am upside down

        Lady be good and do what you should
        you know it'll work alright
        Lady be good and do what you should
        you know it'll be alright

        I'm going up and I'm going down
        I'm gonna fly from side to side
        See the bells up in the sky
        somebody's cut the string in two

        Lady be good and do what you should
        you know it'll work alright
        Lady be good and do what you should
        you know it'll be alright

        One minute one, one minute two
        one minute up and one minute down
        What goes on here in your mind
        I think that I am falling down

        Lady be good and do what you should
        you know it'll work alright
        Lady be good and do what you should
        you know it'll be alright
