Just The Way It Goes
by: Tom CochraneTime 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...
