| A bolted door and a prison cell
|
| Turned his life into a living hell
|
| It seems like fiction but he knows for a fact
|
| She only did a disappearing act
|
| He s doing time
|
| For a phoney crime
|
| She set her trap and played him for a fool
|
| That s the way of the world
|
| Where you get what you deserve
|
| That s the way of the world
|
| Never thought she d have the nerve
|
| That s the way of the world
|
| That s the way of the world
|
| It s payback time for the years she s lost
|
| He s had his fun, but wonders at what cost
|
| The plan has worked, they re convinced she s dead
|
| By far the best laugh she s ever had
|
| But he s not amused
|
| cause he s wrongly accused
|
| Still he must admit she surely played it cool
|
| That s the way of the world
|
| She s a villian in disguise
|
| That s the way of the world
|
| Pulling the wool over his eyes
|
| That s the way of the world
|
| Yes the way of the world
|
| Who s gonna believe him when the truth really sounds too absurd
|
| She and her lover simply fell off the face of the earth
|
| He s making the headlines
|
| While she s spending her days at the beach
|
| A new face, a new
|
| A passport to paradise
|
| That s the way of the world |
