Flyin' Too High (What Goes Up Must Come Down)

Kay Starr · Other Songs - Kay Starr

You leave me alone, you don't even phone

You're carefree as a bird in the sky

But what goes up must come down

And, Baby, you've been flying too high

It's all over town, you're chasing around

But I'm not gonna sit home and cry

Remember what goes up must come down

And, Baby, you've been flying too high

You ought to get your walkin' papers

But now it's too late

Because I know you too well

When you're through cuttin' capers

You break down my gate

To ring my front door bell

So go have your fling, and don't miss a thing

I'll see you down to earth by and by

Remember what goes up must come down

And, Baby, you've been flying too high
