Ain't That The Way It Goes?

When change is knocking at your door

You can't survive there anymore

It's time to pack your things and go

And leave the fine folks that you know

So say goodbye to all the faces

That made you feel so safe and sure

And say hello to stranger places that'll take you

Down all alone, in the cold, but you've got to move on

Ain't that the way it goes?

When obstacles stand in your way

And no one hears the words you say

Well, you've tried everything you can

You took more than you could stand

All your new sisters and new brothers

Have a deep unspoken love

They're looking out for one another

They won't make you feel so alone in the cold, you can keep moving on

Ain't that the way it goes?

Nobody told you

It would be without its share of regret

Well, they'll come and they'll go and they'll push you so low

But you know you haven't turned back yet, yeah

So say goodbye to all the faces

That made you feel so safe and sure

And say hello to stranger places that'll take you

Down all alone, in the cold, but you've got to move on

Ain't that the way it goes?

Ain't that the way it goes?

Oh, ain't that the way it goes?

And you know, ain't that the way it goes?

Oh, ain't that the way it goes?

Oh, ain't that the way it goes? Yeah

Ooh, you know, ain't that the way it goes?

Ooh
