It's strange, I know, but that's the way it goes Leaving you this way, I'm sorry to say That my love has faded, faded away It happened while you were gone You stayed away too long You didn't write or even call I thought you didn't care at all I was sad as I could be The same boy who's fella to me But oh how I tried to resist him, oh how I tried to resist him But my heart told me to keep him, my heart told me to keep him It's strange, I know, but that's the way it goes
Leaving you this way, I'm sorry to say When you get home, I'll be gone Asked my papa for your letter that I put aside When you finish the letter, I'll be Eddie's bride It's strange, I know, but that's the way it goes Leaving you this way, but that's the way it goes It's strange, I know But that's they way, that's they way, that's the way, that's the way it goes Oh it's strange I know
