The Way It Goes

When she was a child, she was a little wild She didn't play with toys. She wouldn't look at boys She had a way of her own, now she's up and grown Ooo boy, nothing's gonna save you Oh Lord, praise the one who made you Ooo child, holy water tremble You know when the night is coming for ya Ain't nothin' stops the sooner from the later So life threw you down the wrong road? Hold tight, baby, that's the way it goes Now they call her a 'Lady' The noise, it made her crazy Still the years went on by So did her alibi She's got some kids of her own Now they're up and grown Look now, Devil's got you runnin' From what? Baby are you stumbling'? Don't blink, death is such a gamble You know when the night is coming for ya Ain't nothin' stops the sooner from the later So life threw you down the wrong road? Hold tight, baby, that's the way it goes Don't pick a fight, with a dog who bites She gonna leave a mark where She'll tear you apart there You's such a fool. And she's so cruel You're gonna sit and pray, to live another day You know when the night is coming for ya Ain't nothin' stops the sooner from the later So life threw you down the wrong road? Hold tight, baby, that's the way it goes The way it goes, the way it goes
