Ain't that the way Whenever you think you've got it made Everything changes on you Ain't that the way Nothing is stranger than the truth And how it comes to you Ain't that the way In this life we are living Moment to moment, day by day And through all our tribulations We reach out for each other And if we're lucky, someone cares enough to say Ain't that the way Whenever you think you're in control Everything turns around Ain't that the way One day you're flying Next day you're on the ground Ain't that the way So it goes You never know what's gonna happen You never know, but something always does And sometimes in quiet desperation You realize it's never gonna be the way it was
