Time to be what you want to be
And all the time in between
When loneliness calls to you
Thoughts turn back to me
But you go on searching for that magic feeling
And hope that it soon comes through
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, 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
It's just the way it goes
It's just the way it goes
It gets hotter 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
Yeah
Yeah

a little iron in the soul
Nowhere to let go
Don't you know
Get a little iron in the soul
Nowhere to let go
Oh
It's just not the way
Well, it's just the way it goes
Not the way, well it's just the way it goes
Not the way, well it's just the way it goes
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
