(Keith, Luccketta, Skeoch, Hannon)



Doesn't matter who gets the best of who, or who can hurt who the most, no

It never was meant for it to be that way, never should be that way at all



[Chorus:]

The way it is, that's the way that it goes, happenin' day after day, yes

That's the way it is, that's the way that it goes

Workin' in the strangest ways



Even though we could never seem to work things out

I still love you just the same, I do

I miss your smile and that sparkle in your eyes

You're so beautiful, never change!



[Chorus]



What it is, and what it was, what shall be shall be, yeah

Sometimes it happens in the strangest ways

Sometimes it's hard to believe (do you believe?)

Do you believe, can you believe?



The way it is, that's the way that it goes

Workin' in the, workin' in the strangest ways



[Solo]



Now it really don't matter who, who gets the best of who

It never did and it never will, no

It never was meant for it to be that way, why must it be that way at all?



The way it is, that's the way that it goes, happenin' day after day, yeah yeah

That's the way it is, that's the way that it goes

Workin' in the, workin' in the strangest ways

That's the way it is, that's the way it is

That's the way it is, that's the way it goes, yeah



Yeah, that's the way it is, that's the way it goes

That's the way it is, that's the way it goes

I see it happen day after day, yeah, yeah

Now I'm workin' in the strangest ways

Yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah



[Solo]



Can you believe, do you believe? Do you believe, can you believe?

That's the way it is, that's the way it is, yeah yeah yeah

That's the way it is, that's the way it goes, yes it do



Alright!
