You won't be afraid of flying if you see it this way
What goes up, baby, must come down
There's no way of denying when you watch a ball game
What goes up, baby, must come down

So keep this all in mind when you're all by yourself
With a little practice you will understand

What goes up, baby, must come down
There are times to be serious or to play the clown
What goes up
Must come down
It may be hard and difficult
It'll still come down

If you don't keep on trying you will lose it some way
What goes up, baby, must come down
There are days that you will have to learn it the hard way
What goes up, baby, must come down

So keep this all in mind when you're all by yourself
With a little practice you will understand

What goes up, baby, must come down
There are times to be serious or to play the clown
What goes up
Must come down
It may be hard and difficult
It'll still come down

So when you feeling down and when you're feeling out
Remember just this thing before you start to shout
What goes up, baby, must come down
Just give it one more try before you start to cry
Don't give it up too soon; the one and only rule
What goes up, baby, must come down

So keep this all in mind when you're all by yourself
With a little practice you will understand

What goes up, baby, must come down
There are times to be serious or to play the clown
What goes up
Must come down
It may be hard and difficult
It'll still come down

What goes up, baby, must come down
Times to be serious or to play the clown
What goes up
Must come down
It may be hard and difficult
It'll still come down
