That's The Way Lyrics

She put her fingers to my lips and said don't say it
She put her hands upon her hips and said don't say it
I had the answer on the tip of my tongue
It's been the answer since the world was young
You keep your mouth shut or you're gonna get hung
From the highest tree in the land

That's the way I always knew it would be
I'm gonna get a lesson and it's gonna be free
That's the way I always knew it would be
There's gonna be a loser and it's gonna be me

She closed the lights upon my name and said don't say it
She knew I wouldn't play the game, and said don't play it
You pay your money and you take your choice
You look for meaning but you're just a noise
You keep on talking till you lose your voice
And everything else in the world

That's the way I always knew it would be
I'm gonna get a lesson and it's gonna be free
That's the way I always knew it would be
There's gonna be a loser and it's gonna be me

That's the way I always knew it would be
I'm gonna get a lesson and it's gonna be free
That's the way I always knew it would be
There's gonna be a loser and it's gonna be me

That's the way I always knew it would be
The world keeps on a turning and it's turning on me
That's the way I always knew it would be
You can fool everybody but you don't fool me

That's the way
That's the way
That's the way
That's the way
