It could've been something
Something into nothing
That's just the way it goes
And everybody knows
Started flying this way
Arrows through a heart shape
That's just the way it goes
And everybody kno---ows
And everybody kno---ows
That's just the way it goes

Drivin down the highway
Livin on a heartache
That's just the way it goes
And everybody knows
Dreamin of your best thoughts
Dyin for the small talk
That's just the way it goes
And everybody kno---ows
And everybody kno---ows
That's just the way it goes

[chorus]
First time, just a quick run through
Next time when you're gonna get to
Slow down, do ya hurry up
And move on to another round
Next time, better than the first time
Last time, better than the next time
Sometimes when ya think the black
You know that's just the way it go---oes
That's just the way it go---oes
That's just the way it goes

[interlude]
ooh....ooh....ooh.......

[chorus]
First time, just a quick run through
Next time when you're gonna get to
Slow down, do ya hurry up
And move on to another round
Next time, better than the first time
Last time, better than the next time
Sometimes when ya think the black
And you know
That's just the way it goes(x4)

That's just the way it goes!
