The Way Things GoWhere's she going, where's she been Do you think she'd be my lover Would she even be my friend I keep looking for the next thing My eyes squarely on the prize Once or twice I thought I had it But then much to my surprise Chorus: It ain't up to me It ain't up to you That's just the way it is There's nothing we can do It ain't what you think It ain't what you know It's just the way things go I once knew a guy named Eddie Had a dog whose name was Earl He said man I love this old dog More than I could love a girl He gave up the chase years ago Said it's easier this way That dog he'll love me forever And believe every word I say Chorus: It ain't up to me It ain't up to you That's just the way it is There's nothing we can do It ain't what you think It ain't what you know It's just the way things go Well my granddad was a rounder Right up to the day he died I guess he sprung a leak someplace He could neither fill nor hide After he outlived two good sons He outlasted two bad wives Then he found if he quit caring It was easy to survive Chorus: It ain't up to me It ain't up to you That's just the way it is There's nothing we can do It ain't what you think It ain't what you know It's just the way things go Copyright Kent Newsome and Ronnie Jeffrey All Rights Reserved |
