"Way of the World" is a song by recording artist Tina Turner from her 1991 compilation album Simply The Best. One of four new songs recorded for the album, it became a top 20 hit in most European countries, including number 12 in both Austria and Ireland, and number 13 in the United Kingdom.
"Way of the World" is a single by American rock band Cheap Trick, released from their 1979 album Dream Police. The song was written by Rick Nielsen and Robin Zander and produced by Tom Werman. In February 1980 it was released as a 7" vinyl single in the UK only, backed by "Oh, Candy," from the first Cheap Trick album, and peaked at #73. It attempted to capitalize on the success of the mid-1979 single "I Want You to Want Me" and the live album Cheap Trick at Budokan which both entered the top 30.
In some countries "Way of the World" was released as the B-side to Cheap Trick's 1980 single "Everything Works if You Let It."
"Way of the World" was produced by American producer Tom Werman who produced the entire Dream Police album as well the band's 1977 album In Color and the 1978 album Heaven Tonight.
No artwork was created for the single, with the 7" vinyl itself being packaged in an official Epic Records sleeve.
The album "Dream Police" showed the band expanding into longer, more complex songs and incorporating orchestration on several tracks. "Way of the World" used this orchestral theme.
Who he is
Who I am how we move
I just sit and watch the frenzy
I can't catch my breath to stop and see
Is this what you meant
Is this happy
What's going on all around me
I just can't work it out exactly
It all comes down so abstractly
It's the way of the world of you and me
It's every wish I ever made or ever thought I might
It's the way of the world of you and me
Baby all I know is I love the way I feel tonight
It's the way of the world
It's the way of the world
What does it mean
All the flowers I've received
It must be raining botany
Spinning and flashing and dashing
And narrowly escaping
In an accent that I'm sure he's faking
But then we just burst out laughing
What zone is this we're passing
It's the way of the world of you and me
It's every wish I ever made or ever thought I might
It's the way of the world of you and me
Baby all I know is I love the way I feel tonight
It's the way of the world
I'm thinking to myself
Baby with you all I know is I go somewhere else
Lost in the mystery
In some other world
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
It's the way of the world
It's every wish I ever made or ever thought I might
It's the way of the world of you and me
Baby all I know is I love the way I feel tonight
The way of the world of you and me
Baby all I know is I love the way I feel tonight
It's the way of the world of you and me
It's every wish I made or ever thought I might
It's the way of the world of you and me
Baby all I know is I love the way I feel tonight
