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