I been all the way up I been all the way down Round about the middle there's some common ground But nothin' lasts forever Nothin' lasts forever So while you're sittin' pretty Got some money in your hand Better get yourself an alternative plan Let her know you need her, Write her love letters Boy you gonna lose her if you don't treat her better Nothin' lasts forever Nothin' lasts forever So have a good time And try to string a few together Remember what I told you, nothin' lasts forever There's lotsa ways in but just one way out And I damn sure know what I'm talkin' about Line up all your demons Little by the bigger Get a bead on them And then pull the trigger Don'tcha let them last forever Nothin' lasts forever It's alright to let the good time roll But try to exercise a little self-control Nothin' lasts forever... Nothin' lasts forever...
