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

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!

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

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

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!

“Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Tommy Skeoch”
