That's the Way It Goes

Tell a little lie

And it gets started

Break a little bread

And the tie that binds

Add another lie

Then they start flowing

Then it won't be long

Until it's going, going gone

I'm talking about love

That's the way it goes

Give a cheating look

Off to a stranger

Tell a little smile

From across the room

Plant a little seed

And it starts growing

And it be long

Until it's going, going gone

I'm talking about love

That's the way it goes

Once love is done in

The leaving coming

The door is closed

No use in knocking

When love is walking

That's the way love

That's the way it goes

Build a little wall

Then build it higher

Never give an inch

Until you take a mile

Never see the tears

Even when they are showing

Then it won't take long

Until it's going, going gone

I'm talking about love

That's the way it goes

I'm talking about love

That's the way it goes

I'm talking about love

That's the way it goes

I'm talking about love

That's the way it goes
