The Way it Goes Lyrics

If there's ever anything that I can do

To make you realize I love you

Just tell it to me straight

Cause you know I just can't wait another day

If there's ever anything that I can be

To show you what you mean to me

Just whisper in my ear

And I'll make it all so clear

Don't delay, don't delay

Cause even if the past

Holds nothing for the future

This creature of habit

Has no doubt about the way it goes

And goodness knows it's wrong before it's right

Turn away

And don't you look behind

Cause nothing back there matters

And rather, disaster isn't far from past

So sit up tall, and after all

It's only dark before it's light

So if there's ever anything that I can say

To make you mine, if for a day

Just give to me a sign

And I'll lay it on the line

Straight away, don't delay

Cause even if the past

Holds nothing for the future

This creature of habit

Has no doubt about the way it goes

And goodness knows it's wrong before it's right

Turn away

And don't you look behind

Cause nothing back there matters

And rather, disaster isn't far from past

So sit up tall, and after all

It's only dark before it's light

So if there's ever anything that I can do

To make you realize I love you

Just tell it to me straight

Cause you know I just can't wait another day

If there's ever anything that I can be

To show you what you mean to me

Just whisper in my ear

And I'll make it all so clear

Now, before you disappear

Just whisper in my ear
