Strange I know
But that's the way it goes
Leaving you this way
I'm sorry to say
That my love has faded, faded away (away)
It happened while you were gone
You stayed away too long
You didn't write or even call
I thought you didn't care at all
I was sad as I could be
The same boy who's fella to me
But oh how I tried to resist him (oh how I tried to resist him)
But my heart told me to keep him (but my heart told me to keep him)
Strange I know
But that's the way it goes
Leaving you this way
I'm sorry to say
When you get home
I'll be gone
Ask my mother for your letter
That I put aside
When you finish the letter
I'll be Eddie's bride
Strange I know (strange I know)
But that's the way it goes (that's the way it goes)
Leaving you this way (strange I know)
But that's the way it goes (that's the way it goes)
Strange I know (strange I know)
But that's the way, that's the way, that's the way, that's the way it goes (that's the way it goes)
Oh strange I know
