 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.
 And if you  lie you will lose  it,
 Feelings  will  show.
 So don't  you ever abuse  it,
 Don't  let it go.
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.
 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.
 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.
 And if you  lie you will lose  it,
 Feelings  will  show.
 So don't  you ever abuse  it,
 Don't  let it go.
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.
 It's in  the way that you  use it,
 boy  don't you know.
 So don't  you ever refuse  it
 and  don't let it  go.
