The first impression that I ever got
was that I’d never get what I want what I got was not a lot
I never really wanted anything
other than you to sing lullabies when I slide back to sleep
anybody wanna tell me what went down
anybody wanna explain things
why did everybody do on each other
like they don’t wanna be done themselves
The next thing that I remember
waking up next to someone I love
don’t really even know her
but it feels like that I always have
nobody gonna take her from me
nobody gonna make her laugh like I do when I whisper words into her ears
Chorus

she knows___ how it goes__

How I wish that someone had showed me
how to deal with days just like these
how the pain can crush your soul
and make you old in just a few days
always wanna be just like him
never raise my voice in anger
always fight it with a grin
carry myself with poise and grace
Only thing I want you to never forget
where your love can come from
anytime you wanna make a rhyme, make it fine,
show a sign, throw a line, save a soul, give a dime
er’body can’t help but feel it
everybody gonna want and need it
when you whisper into their ears
they know
how it goes

That night that I remember
she was good she was my savior
came into my room in the middle of the night
kicked off her shoes and she made it right
nobody can sing like that
nobody can make that sound
not another care in the world
not another soul to be found
The last impression that I ever had was
that I wasn’t sad, wasn’t glad, wasn’t good, wasn’t bad
never once did the devil kill
on my will to stay still and be chill
climbin’ up and down this hill
everybody gotta get it together
start lovin’ more on each other
start whispering into each other’s ears
‘cause then you’ll know
how it goes
you’ll know
that’s how it goes
