It's in the way that you use it Boy don't you know It comes and it goes So don't you ever abuse it Don't let it go And if you lie you will lose it Feelings will show Nobody's right until somebody's wrong Nobody's weak until somebody's strong

You'll just let her go The lights go out The show goes on She leaves town If you know what's good for you Or you'll end up next to me in her sideshow She's a big top ten with bright spotlights That woman sure knows how to shine You almost can't believe

It wasn't long ago And I was just like you And now I think I'm sick And I want to go home I saw my friend the other day And I don't' know Exactly just what he became It goes show How have I been how have you been

I wanna tell you something, give you something Show you in so many ways 'Cause it would all mean nothing if I don't say something before it all goes away Don't wanna wait to bring you flowers, waste another hour let alone another day I'm gonna tell you

When you break up in a small town She would get down with somebody I know I guess that's just how it goes I see our friends and they put on a show Like they don't want me to know So they give me the go-around I swear it's like I can't even leave my house

Turn the key, turn the volume up to loud Roll right, roll every window down Let the whole block know what this is about That beat is hot This is how it goes Welcome one and all to the show

And she knew Going on with the show Come on baby Frankie died just the other night Some say it was suicide But we know How the story goes With his six string knife And his street wise pride

They say they ready for whatever! One for the money, two for the show They say they ready for whatever Three for them hoes saying anything goes I been around the world, twice to be exact Six bad bitches and they lapped up in the back And you know it

"C'est la vie", say the old folks, it goes to show you never can tell It was a teenage wedding, and the old folks wished them well You could see that Pierre did truly love the mademoiselle And now the young monsieur and madame have rung the chapel bell

Show business That's the way it goes Show business That's show business You learn to sing You learn to play Why don't the businessmen Ever learn to pay You play in halls
