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 (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 (but my heart told me to keep him) 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 Ask my mother for your letter That I put aside When you finish the letter I'll be Eddie's bride Strange I know (strange I know) But that's the way it goes (that's the way it goes) Leaving you this way (strange I know) But that's the way it goes (that's the way it goes) Strange I know (strange I know) But that's the way, that's the way, that's the way, that's the way it goes (that's the way it goes) Oh strange I know
