Dum dum dum-ee-doo dum-ee-doo,
And that's the way it goes

Met her in the Park last fall
I heard cupid start to call
But no chance, no chance at all
And, that's the way it goes Yeah!
That's the way it goes
Dum-ee-doo dum-ee-doo.

Ev'ry time I see her there
I just gotta stop and stare
But I know that she don't care
And, that's the way it goes Yeah!
That's the way it goes
Dum-ee-doo dum-ee-doo
And that's the way it goes.

Fairy tales can happen
Why don't they happen to me
I thought I'd found my love
But how wrong, how wrong can you be

I think I'll put my love away
Save it for a rainy day
Save it for someone who'll stay
And, that's the way it goes Yeah!
That's the way it goes
Dum-ee-doo dum-ee-doo
Dum dum dum-ee-doo dum-ee-doo
Dum dum dum-ee-doo dum-ee-doo
And that's the way it goes.
