Bongos Ikwue What's Gonna Be's Gonna Be Lyrics:
What's gonna be' s gonna be
What goes up must come down
What's gonna be's gonna be
Ain't is nothing you can do about it
What's gonna be' s gonna be
What goes up must come down
What's gonna be's gonna be
Ain't is nothing you can do about it
Used to have a lot of girls
Have them in all kind of shapes and sizes
All of a suddenly they turned their backs at me
And I bow my head and I sing to myself and I said
What's gonna be' s gonna be
What goes up must come down
What's gonna be's gonna be
Ain't is nothing you can do about it
Said what's gonna be' s gonna be
What goes up must come down
What's gonna be's gonna be
Ain't is nothing you can do about it
...Instruments...
What's gonna be' s gonna be
What goes up must come down
What's gonna be's gonna be
Ain't is nothing you can do about it
Said what's gonna be' s gonna be
What goes up must come down
What's gonna be's gonna be
Ain't is nothing you can do about it
Ain't is nothing you can do about it
Ain't is nothing you can do about it
Ain't is nothing you can do about it
Ain't is nothing you can do about it
