It's just the way that you are
It's not the way that I am
It's just the way you think that
You're the only one with the plan
You think that you know it all
Everything's all about you
But you will never know
The way a friend should always be true.

So I look ahead today
There's no comin' back this way
Cause it's all been said and done
You won't ruin any of my fun
No there's no comin' back today
And I won't even look your way
Cause it's all been said and done
You won't ruin any of my fun
Yeah, you won't stand in my way

It's just the way that you are
It's not the way that I am
It's just the way you think that
You're the only one with the plan
I don't know what to think of
This predicament we've found
I'm not sure what to make
Of all the sights and all of this sound
I don't know where this thing goes
I don't know when it will stop
All I know is that I'll be lookin down
At you from the top

So I look ahead today
There's no comin' back this way
Cause it's all been said and done
You won't ruin any of my fun
No there's no comin' back today
And I won't even look your way
Cause it's all been said and done
You won't ruin any of my fun
Yeah, you won't stand in my way

It's like 1, 2, 3
Those little birdies fly away
So I got on the rooftop
And found the words to say
I was standin' on the corner
I was playin this song
And don't ya know
That these people came along
They're clappin their hands
I'm tappin my feet
Now we're rockin to the rhythm
Of that East Coast Beat
They were feelin' so free
I was feelin' so fine
If your drink runs out
Come get a sip of mine
Cause my cup runneth over
I done filled it up
And that's how it is
When your friends don't front, what.

So I look ahead today
There's no comin' back this way
Cause it's all been said and done
You won't ruin any of my fun
No there's no comin' back today
And I won't even look your way
Cause it's all been said and done
You won't ruin any of my fun
Yeah, you won't stand in my way
