It Goes

Somebody told me not to mess around with you
And I almost listened to them
They said, That girl, she'll make you feel like you're on top of the world, man
But she'll never make you feel like you

So I let you turn me into what I thought I liked
And became the man I knew I never would
But now I'm finding I can't say to you the words that feel right
And I've become someone who's quite misunderstood

Cause every time I say something (Hey)
It's like I never gave you nothing (Hey)
And all I get is I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

So if you wanna remain a thing (Hey)
Uh, then don't make me complain again (Hey)
Cause that's how it goes, it goes, it goes, it goes, it goes

I tried to get over it but that ain't right
Thinking about who I used to be just keeps me up at night
There's something to be said about starting new
But that only works if you got nothing left to hold onto

And now I think about the words you say
And how I loved you so much yesterday
But now I've woken up and realized
That all this time I've been under my own disguise

Cause every time I say something (Hey)
It's like I never gave you nothing (Hey)
And all I get is I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

So if you wanna remain a thing (Hey)
Uh, then don't make me complain again (Hey)
Cause that's how it goes, it goes, it goes, it goes, it goes

Ooh ahh
Ooh ahh
Ooh ahh
Ahhh
