that's how it goes - Dalton Mauldin

Lord, how it comes is how it goes, You don't need to chase my ghost anymore, Ghosts in those cuts I used to see Are the cuts that you would see in me So how it comes is how it goes Kinda seems a cruel joke, We don't need to be our fools no more I saved you now you save me You needed to leave, But I can't blame you for anything Girls, some girls are talking mad, About things and lives and love they never had, But you, you should run free And be the one you were always going to be... (Chorus)

I'm sitting here on my own, Haven't seen you in a long, long time. This waiting's getting old. As I sit here I sing to myself A little tune that helps (sometimes) To pass the time. And this is how it goes, This is how it goes. This is how it goes Ooh waa ooh waa ooh hoo hoo Ooh waa ooh waa ooh Ooh waa ooh waa ooh hoo hoo Ooh waa ooh waa ooh hoo hoo Ooh waa ooh waa ooh Ooh waa ooh waa ooh hoo hoo Ooh waa ooh waa ooh hoo hoo Ooh waa ooh waa ooh Ooh waa ooh waa ooh hoo hoo Still sitting here on my own, Music's running through my head, Changes all the time. Just remember sing between the lines That little tune that helps the quiet moments To pass the time. And this is how it goes, This is how it goes. Ooh waa ooh waa ooh hoo hoo Ooh waa ooh waa ooh Ooh waa ooh waa ooh hoo hoo Ooh waa ooh waa ooh hoo hoo Ooh waa ooh waa ooh Ooh waa ooh waa ooh hoo hoo Ooh waa ooh waa ooh hoo hoo Ooh waa ooh waa ooh Ooh waa ooh waa ooh hoo hoo

High heels just a little too high Lipstick just a little too bright Hips moving just a little too side to side First drink just a little too strong Sippin' that straw just a little too long Got it just a little too going on tonight I'm not saying she's already gone But you know what you know when It's sure feeling like she's moving on That's how she goes, when she go, when she ready to leave Just drunk enough to find somebody better than me High enough to leave me sitting here blowing smoke That's how she goes, when she go, when she's ready to prove She's hot enough to get away with breaking the rules When she gonna come back? Damn, I never know That's how she goes Dance floor turning into a stage Whiskey going down like a red Kool-Aid Stop this train, there ain't no way tonight Well, I've seen this movie before, check Please let me get one more, shot Before I hit the door Kiss crazy goodbye I'm not saying she's already gone But you know what you know when It's sure feeling like she's moving on (on) That's how she goes, when she go, when she ready to leave Just drunk enough to find somebody better than me High enough to leave me sitting here blowing smoke That's how she goes, when she go, when she's ready to prove She's hot enough to get away with breaking the rules When she gonna come back? Damn, I never know That's how she goes You go, girl, you go, girl I'm not saying she's already gone But you know what you know when It's sure feeling like she's moving on, oh That's how she goes, when she go, when she ready to leave Just drunk enough to find somebody better than me High enough to leave me sitting here blowing smoke That's how she goes, when she go, when she's ready to prove She's hot enough to get away with breaking the rules When she gonna come back? Damn, I never know That's how she goes, when she go, when she ready to leave Just drunk enough to find somebody better than me High enough to leave me sitting here blowing smoke That's how she goes when she goes, when she's feeling alone And she calls me in the middle of the night on the phone She tells me, oh, she tells me That she wants to come home

Got a still framed photo of us sitting on my night stand Everytime i'm rollin' over wishing it was different, yeah I can't help but think about you Had a change in the weather baby Now we're like strangers Living life without ya Knowing I can't rearrange it, yeah I don't know what to do When the sun's up high And i'm doin' alright I forget it's really over When the moon creeps in Yeah, there i go again girl Missing you on my shoulder My broken heart fades like the stars When the sky turns back to blue Cause I can't, I can't get used to Nights without you Waking up everyday, same ole same Trying to keep myself busy Making everyone think that I'm good without goodbye When the street lights come on And the house lights go out Baby, you're all that I want And can't stop thinking about When the sun's up high And i'm doin' alright I forget it's really over When the moon creeps in Yeah, there i go again girl Missing you on my shoulder My broken heart fades like the stars When the sky turns back to blue Cause I can't, I can't get used to Nights without you Wish that I could take back Ever saying that I love you And get to say I love you more When the sun's up high And i'm doin' alright I forget it's really over When the moon creeps in Yeah, there i go again girl I'm missing you on my shoulder My broken heart fades like the stars When the sky turns back to blue Cause I can't, I can't get used to Nights without you
