just the way it goes

time to be what you

want to be

and all the time in between

when loneliness calls

do your thoughts turn back to me?

but you go on searching for that

magic feeling and hope

that is soon comes through

but you believe what you

want to believe

what your mind tells you is true

and you know it's

not the way it is baby

not the way it is

it's just the way it goes

and your heart is at the wheel baby

it knows when to steel

but never when to let go

and you know

it's just the way it goes

it gets harder

as the nights get longer

so you spend them with someone strange

for protection but you know

that it's never quite the same

it always happens this way

when your heart is at the wheel

and the harder you say stop

the harder she turns it on you

not the way it is baby

not the way it is

it's just the way it goes

heart is at the wheel baby

it knows when to steal

but never when to let go

and you know

it's just the way it goes

yes you know

it's just the way it goes

don't you know

get a little iron in the soul

know when to let go

don't you know

get a little iron in the soul

know when to let go

yes it's not the way

well it's just the way it goes

not the way. well it's just the way it goes. don't give it up
