William Onyeabor - When The Going Is Smooth Y Good Lyrics

C'mon!

When the going is smooth and good
Many, many people will be your friend
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
When the going is smooth and good
Many, many people will be your friend
But when the going becomes tough
Many of your friends will run away

C'mon!
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher

When the going is smooth and good
Many, many people will be your friend
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
When the going is smooth and good
Many, many people will be your friend
But when the going becomes tough
Many, many of them will run away
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
But when the going becomes tough
Many, many of them will disappear
(That's bad, very, very bad)

And that is what I mean
And that is what I am saying
When the going is good
You will have many friends
But when the going is tough
Most of them will disappear
And they never come back
When they come back
They have come back to help in knocking you
Down, down, down, down
(That's bad, very, very bad)

And that is what I'm saying
And that is what I mean
When the going is good
You will have many friends
They will call you many names
They will say they love you
They will say they need you
And will say you are great
And so on and so forth
But when the going is tough
Most of them will disappear
And they never come back
When they come back
They have come back to help in knocking you
Down, down, down, down
(That's bad, very, very bad)

When the going is good
You should keep your good friends
And when the going is bad
You should keep your good friends
And don't try to help in knocking your good friends
Down, down, down, down

C'mon!
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher

Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher
Higher, higher, higher, higher, higher, higher

When the going is smooth and good
Many, many people will be your friend
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
When the going is smooth and good
Many, many people will be your friend
But when the going becomes tough
Many of your friends will run away
(That's bad, very, very bad)

And that is what I mean
And that is what I am saying
When the going is good
You will have many friends
But when the going is tough
Most of them will disappear
And they never come back
When they come back
They have come back to help in knocking you
Down, down, down, down
(That's bad, very, very bad)

And that is what I mean
And that is what I am saying
When the going is good
You will have many friends
They will call you many names
They will say they love you
They will say they need you
And will say you are great
And so on and so forth
But when the going is tough
Most of them will disappear
And they never come back
When they come back
They have come back to help in knocking you
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down
(That's bad, very, very bad)

When the going is good
You should keep your good friends
And when the going is bad
You should keep your good friends
Don't try to help in knocking your good friends
Down, down, down, down
