The Way of the World

A bolted door and a prison cell

Turned his life into a living hell

It seems like fiction but he knows for a fact

She only did a disappearing act

He's doing time

For a phoney crime

She set her trap and played him for a fool

That's the way of the world

Where you get what you deserve

That's the way of the world

Never thought she'd have the nerve

That's the way of the world

That's the way of the world

It's payback time for the years she's lost

He's had his fun, but wonders at what cost

The plan has worked, they're convinced she's dead

By far the best laugh she's ever had

But he's not amused

'cause he's wrongly accused

Still he must admit she surely played it cool

That's the way of the world

She's a villian in disguise

That's the way of the world

Pulling the wool over his eyes

That's the way of the world

Yes the way of the world

Who's gonna believe him when the truth really sounds

too absurd

She and her lover simply fell off the face of the earth

He's making the headlines

While she's spending her days at the beach

A new face, a new

A passport to paradise

That's the way of the world
