Life Has Its Little Ups and Downs - Gary Puckett

作曲：M.A. Rich

I don't know how to tell her

That I didn't get that raise in pay today

And I know how much she wanted

That dress in Baker's window

And it breaks my heart

To see her have to wait

And cancel all the plans

She made to celebrate

But I can count on her to take it

With a smile and not a frown

She knows that life

Has its little ups and downs

Like ponies on a merry-go-round

No one grabs the brass ring every time

But she don't mind

She wears a gold ring on her finger

And it's mine

The new house plans we've had so long

I guess will gather dust another year

And the daffodils are blooming

That she planted last fall upon the hill

And over by the gate

Lord knows I hate to say again

We'll have to wait

But I can count on her to take it

With a smile and not a frown

She knows that life

Has its little ups and downs

Like ponies on a merry-go-round

And no one grabs the brass ring every time

But she don't mind

She wears a gold ring on her finger

And it's mine

She wears a gold ring on her finger

And it's mine

Oh it's mine

Yes and it's mine

Oh it's mine

Don't you know that it's mine

Yes it's mine

Oh that lady's mine

Oh she's mine
