Time 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 steal 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... Don't give it up
