Lyrics
Chorus 1
It`s in the way that you use it,
It comes and it goes.
It`s in the way that you use it,
Boy don`t you know.
Chorus 2
And if you lie you will lose it,
Feelings will show.
So don`t you ever abuse it,
Don`t let it go.
Verse 1
Nobody`s right till somebody`s wrong.
Nobody`s weak till somebody`s strong.
No one gets lucky till luck comes along.
Nobody`s lonely till somebody`s gone.

Verse 2
I`ve seen dark skies, never like this.
Walked on some thin ice, never like this.
I`ve told you white lies, never like this.
Looked into true eyes, never like this.
Chorus 3
It`s in the way that you use it
Boy don`t you know
So don`t you abuse it
Man don`t let it go
