Lyrics:

There's a young man with his friends
Hanging out down by the river
He's drinking and carrying on
Watching time go by
And there's a man downstream getting baptised
Looking for forgiveness
He's been there and down that
Now he's lettin' the water wash away his pride
Some people never give up
Some never give in
Some people keep going back to places
They've already been
You always get back as much as you give
Some people live and learn
And some people just live
There's a woman in a red dress
Putting on lipstick in front of the mirror
She'll be sleeping in some stranger's hotel room tonight
There's a women next door here in town
For confessing sinners
Telling anyone who'll listen everything's going to be alright
Some people never give up
Some never give in
Some people keep going back to places
They've already been
You'll always get back as much as you give
Some people live and learn
Then some just live

Here I am at the crossroads, hat in hand
Looking for direction
Temptation's walking up to me
And she's got a red dress on
Hey, bartender close my tab
'Cause I once learned a lesson
And I can still feel the pain
So I'm walking out of here tonight on my own
Some people never give up
Some never give in
Some people keep going back to places
They've already been
Oh, you'll always get back just as much as you give
Oh, some people live and learn
Some people just live
Some people just live
Oh and some just live
