Lyrics
Let’s sing along with the lyrics!
It comes and it goes
It's in the way that you use it
Boy don't you know
Feelings will show
So don't you ever abuse it
Don't let it go
Nobody's weak until somebody's strong
No one gets lucky until luck comes along
Nobody's lonely until somebody's gone
It comes and it goes
It's in the way that you use it
Boy don't you know
It comes and it goes
It's in the way that you use it
Boy don't you know
Feelings will show
So don't you ever abuse it
Don't let it go
Walked on some thin ice, never like this
I've told you white lies, never like this
Looked into true eyes, never like this
Boy don't you know
So don't you ever abuse it
Don't let it go
