Lyrics

Let’s sing along with the lyrics!

It's in the way that you use itIt comes and it goesIt's in the way that you use itBoy don't you know
And if you lie you will lose itFeelings will showSo don't you ever abuse itDon't let it go
Nobody's right until somebody's wrongNobody's weak until somebody's strongNo one gets lucky until luck comes alongNobody's lonely until somebody's gone
It's in the way that you use itIt comes and it goesIt's in the way that you use itBoy don't you know
It's in the way that you use itIt comes and it goesIt's in the way that you use itBoy don't you know
And if you lie you will lose itFeelings will showSo don't you ever abuse itDon't let it go
I've seen dark skies, never like thisWalked on some thin ice, never like thisI've told you white lies, never like thisLooked into true eyes, never like this
It's in the way that you use itBoy don't you knowSo don't you ever abuse itDon't let it go
