Norah Jones – That's The Way That The World Goes 'round lyrics

{Richard}
I know a guy that's got a lot to lose,
He's a pretty nice guy, kinda confused.
He's got muscles in his head ain't never been used,
Thinks he owns half of this town.

He starts drinkin' heavy, gets a big red nose,
Then he beats his old lady, with a rubber hose.
Takes her out to dinner, buys her new clothes,
And that's the way that the world goes 'round.

{Chorus - Norah & Richard}
That's the way that the world goes 'round,
You're up one day, the next you're down,
It's half inch of water, but you think you're gonna drown,
That's the way that the world goes 'round.

{Norah}
I was sittin' in the bathtub, a-countin' my toes,
When the radiator broke, the water all froze.
I got stuck in the ice, without my clothes,
Naked as the eyes of a clown.

I was crying those ice cubes, hoping I'd croak,
When the sun came through the window, the ice all broke.
I just stood up and laughed; I thought it was a joke,
That's the way that the world goes 'round.

{Chorus - Norah & Richard}

{Chorus - Norah, Richard & Kevin Breit}
