For a long, long time
Sometimes I wonder
Is this the end of the line
No one should take advantage
Of who they are
No man has got it made
If he thinks he does, he's wrong
[Chorus]
Every mother's so
Better hear what I'm saying
Every mother's son
Will rise and fall one day
Seen it happen so many times, so many times before
Some man got so much money he doesn't worry no more
Or he's got such a pretty woman that'll treat him fine
My friends have all been fools
It happens every time
[Chorus]
I'm not tryin' to preach to no one, to no one at all
Seen a lot of my good friends just rise to fall
'Cause they got so much money or a woman so fine
Well my friends have all been fools, it happens every time
[Chorus]
What I say
[Chorus]
What I say
Oh, every mother's son will rise and fall one day
And so it goes
Well I've been riding a winning horse For a long, long time Sometimes I wonder Is this the end of the line No one should take advantage Of who they are No man has got it made If he thinks he does, he's wrong [Chorus] Every mother's so Better hear what I'm saying Every mother's son Will rise and fall one day Seen it happen so many times, so many times before Some man got so much money he doesn't worry no more Or he's got such a pretty woman that'll treat him fine My friends have all been fools It happens every time [Chorus] I'm not tryin' to preach to no one, to no one at all Seen a lot of my good friends just rise to fall 'Cause they got so much money or a woman so fine Well my friends have all been fools, it happens every time [Chorus] What I say [Chorus] What I say Oh, every mother's son will rise and fall one day And so it goes Explain Request ×
