It's in The Way That You Use It

by Eric Clapton and Peter Robertson

Chorus 1

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.

Chorus 2

And if you lie you will lose it,

Feelings will show.

So don`t you ever abuse it,

Don`t let it go.

Verse 1

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.

Chorus 2

Verse 2

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.

Chorus 3

It`s in the way that you use it

Boy don`t you know

So don`t you abuse it

Man don`t let it go
