Some day somebody’s gonna make you want toTurn around and say goodbyeUntil then baby are you going to let themHold you down and make you cryDon’t you know?Don’t you know things can changeThings’ll go your wayIf you hold on for one more dayCan you hold on for one more dayThings’ll go your wayHold on for one more day
