You came to stay a long time ago
It was my wild
Your special touch
My mind’s been busted up
My feelings like rocks nowhere to run
Been out of touch
Yeah, I can’t say no
I can’t say no
Yeah, that’s the way it goes

Speedin’ down your arteries
Freeway to your heart
Runnin’ hot
Sworn by conviction
Metal train will go back
Even when there’s no tracks
It’s you by raw intention

Yeah, I can’t say no
I can’t say no
Yeah, that’s the way it goes

Red light on my mind
Burnin’ through my head
Lookin’ all ways
A lot of pretty faces
A few you can trust
Take a chance,
You know you gotta.

Yeah, I can’t say no
I can’t say no
Yeah, that’s the way it goes

That’s the way it goes, yeah, yeah
