The Way it Goes
(Words and music by Paul Kleinert)

He wakes up and scratches on his head.
And she gently reaches up and pulls him back in bed.
That?s the way it goes?that?s the way it happens.
That?s the way it goes.

He stares at the rain that?s coming through the ceiling.
And she cares about his heart and mind and what he?s feeling (yes she does)
That?s the way it goes?that?s the way it happens.
That?s the way it goes?that?s the way it happens.

He?s wondering what?s happened to his mind.
He?s wondering what?s happened to the time they had long ago.

His eyes are red, wiping out the sleep from a rough evening.
And she said that line so many times it aint worth repeating.
That?s the way it goes?That?s the way it goes.
That?s the way it goes?that?s the way it happens.

It?s three, it?s three a.m.
I stumble through the night.
I need, I need a friend.
And she is by my side.

I want it? I want it? I want it I need it.
I need it? I need it? I want if I see it.
I want you? I want you? I want you before me.
I ?d love you and need you for you to adore me.

I want it?I want it?I want it I need it.
I need it? I need it? I want if I see it.
I want you? I want you? I want you before me.
I love you and need you for you to adore me.

That?s the way it goes?that?s the way it happens.
That?s the way it goes?that?s the way it happens.
