Lyrics as sung by Melanie

Don’t know where I’m goin’
But I’m always going round and round
There’s another side to this life I’m livin’
There’s another side to this life

Think I’ll go to Nashville maybe go to Tennessee
This ten cent life I’m living gonna be the death of me
There’s another side to this life I’m livin’
There’s another side to this life

My whole worlds in and uproar and my whole worlds upside down
Don’t know where I’m going but I’m always going around and around
There’s another side to this life I’m livin’
And there’s another side to this life

Always upside down,

Don’t know where I’m goin’
But I’m always going around and around and around and around
Think I’ll take me a sailing boat and sail around and around and around
Whole worlds in and uproar and my whole worlds upside down
Whole worlds in and uproar and I’m always going around and around…

Original Lyrics

Would you like to know a secret
It's just between you and me
I don't know where I'm going next
I don't know where I'm gonna be

But that's the other side to this life
I've been leading
But that's the other side of this life

Well my whole world's in an uproar
My own world's upside down
I don't know where I'm going
But I'm always bumming around
And that's another side to this life
I've been leading
And that's another side of this life

Well I don't know what I'm doing
Half the time I don't know where I'll go
I think I'll get me a sailing boat
And sail the gulf of Mexico

And that's another side to this life
I've been leading
And that's another side of this life

Well I think I'll go to Nashville
Down to Tennessee
The ten cent life I've been leading here
Gonna the be the dead of me

But that's the other side to this life
I've been leading
But that's the other side of this life
And that's another side of this life

Would you like to know a secret
It's just between you and me
I don't know where I'm going next
I don't know where I'm gonna be

But that's another side to this life
I've been leading
But that's another side of this life
