By now you ought to know Well you're chasing all around, now you're gonna be late You just missed the bus, man you can't catch a break Your dog wants to go for a walk in the park But when he's there he doesn't walk, all he does is just bark Yeah that's how it goes, yeah that's how it goes How come nobody ever told you so? By now you ought to know Well your neighbor next door says you need to pipe down But you're too busy rockin' to the sweet, sweet sound Dancing in your living room, putting on a show It's finally Friday night, time to let yourself go Yeah that's how it goes, yeah that's how it goes Didn't anybody ever tell you so? By now you ought to know Yeah that's how it goes, yeah now strike your pose Up and down, it ebbs and flows, but that's just how life goes Oh, that's how it goes Get some sun before it snows 'cause you just never know That's just how it goes, that's just how it goes, that's just how it goes That's how it goes
