The Way It Is (Tesla)

THE WAY IT IS

Doesn’t matter who gets the best of who

Or who can hurt who the most, no.

It never was meant for it to be that way,

Never should be that way at all.

(Chorus)

  The way it is, the way that it goes

  Happenin’ day after day, yeah.

  That’s the way it is, the way that it goes,

  Workin’ in the strangest ways.

Even though we could never seem to work things out,

I still love you just the same.

I miss your smile and that sparkle in your eye.

You’re so beautiful, never change.

(Chorus)

  The way it is, the way that it goes

  Happenin’ day after day, yeah.

  That’s the way it is, the way that it goes,

  Workin’ in the strangest ways.

(Bridge)

  What it is, and what it was,

  What shall be shall be, yeah.

  Sometimes it happens in the stangest ways,

  Sometimes it’s hard to believe, yeah.  (Do you believe?)

  Do you believe, can you believe?

(Chorus)

  The way it is, the way that it goes,

  Workin’ in the strangest ways, yeah.

Now it really don’t matter who gets the best of who.

It never did and never will.

It was never meant for it to be that way.

Why must it be that way at all?

(Chorus)

  The way it is, the way that it goes

  Happenin’ day after day, yeah.

  That’s the way it is, the way that it goes,

  Workin’ in the, workin’ in the strangest ways.

  That’s the way it is, that’s the way it is,

  That’s the way it is, that’s the way that it goes, yeah.

  Yeah.  That’s the way it is, that’s the way that it goes.

  That’s the way it is, that’s the way that it goes.

  See it happen day after day, yeah, yeah,

  Workin’ in the strangest ways.

Can you believe, do you believe?

Can you believe, do you believe?

That’s the way it is, that’s the way it goes.

Yes it do.

Party's Over (Tesla)

PARTY’S OVER

It’s the same old song and dance,

You’re askin’ me for a second chance.

I don’t care, baby, what you say,

All I wanna do is gotta get away.

Been too many times callin’ out your name,

You promised me, but you never came.

Was it, baby, all a game to you?  Yeah.

After all the things that I’ve done for you,

Say your love, your love, could not be true.

I don’t need nobody like you.

(Chorus)

  So turn out the lights, the party’s over.

  Turn out the lights, the party’s over for you.

  This time is the last time, never be a next time.

  Tonight I wanna dance to a brand new tune.

You know, it took so long for me to realize

You got a cheatin’ heart full of dirty lies.

Now listen baby, I got news for you.

Now don’tcha come knockin’ on my door.

‘Cause I don’t want your love no more.

I don’t need nobody like you.

(Chorus)

  So turn out the lights, (lights out) the party’s over.

  Turn out the lights, (lights out) the party’s over for you.

  This time is the last time, never be a next time.

  Tonight I wanna dance to rock and roll.

I guess it must-a been you were so caught up

That you didn’t even notice we were fallin apart.

Now you played the game, now you play the fool.

I don’t need nobody like you.

I don’t want it.  I don’t need it.

No, no, nobody like you.  All I got to say.

(Chorus)

  So turn out the lights, (lights out) the party’s over.

  Turn out the lights, (lights out) the party’s over for you.

  This time is the last time, never be a next time.

  Turn out the lights, the party’s over.

  Turn out the lights.

  Turn out the lights. (turn out the lights)

  Turn out the lights, the party’s over.

  Turn out the lights. (turn out the lights)

  Turn out the lights, (lights out) the party’s over.

  Turn out the lights, the party’s over.  Yeah.

Paradise (Tesla)

PARADISE

Hold me close now, hold me tight.

Don’t let go of me tonight.

You’re all I want, you’re all I need.

Hold me close now, hold me tight.

Don’t let go of me tonight.

Sweet paradise.

How I love all of those crazy little things

You’ve said and done for me.

You’re the one for me.

Darlin’, dry your eyes. 

I can’t stand to see you cry.

Now just turn and walk away.

Don’t look back when I say goodbye paradise.

Days go by and life goes on.

Feel I’ve been away too long.

What I would give to be with you.

Days go by and life drags on.

Feel I’ve been away too long,

For much too long, yeah.

And all the while that I’m away,

Don’t let our love fade away.

Don’t you fade away.

Now as sure as the sun is gonna shine,

The day will come.

Now I’m waitin’ for the day.

There’ll be no more sayin’ goodbye paradise.

My sweet paradise.

You are the reason why

It tears me up inside,

And I break down and cry.

Didn’t want to say goodbye paradise.

I’m comin’ home to you tonight,

Comin’ home to you tonight, so hold on tight.

Tonight I’m on my way back home to paradise.

I’m so lost without you,

Can’t live without you.

I’ve been away too long now.

Tonight I’m on my way back home to you.

My, my paradise. 

My, my paradise, yeah, yeah

To hold you in my arms, you’re all that I adore,

To see your smilin’ face as I walk through the door.

I’ll never say goodbye again.

Making Magic (Tesla)

MAKIN’ MAGIC

Now, I don’t wanna waste your time,

I only want to satisfy.

So wind me up and watch me go,

I’m gettin’ crazy as the night unfolds.

Gimme, gimme what I want,

Keep it up now, don’t stop,

And I will do the same for you.

I’m gonna take it over the top.

(Pre-chorus)

  What you see ain’t what you get,

  There’s more than meets the eye.

  ‘Cause you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

  It’s up to us, me and you,

  Together we can fly high, high.

(Chorus)

  I got you, now you got me.

  Feels so good to be

  Makin’ magic, makin’ magic,

  It ain’t no mystery.  Come on!

Get down, way down low.

C’mon let’s get on with the show.

And let the music set you free.

Like a leaf in the wind, let it be.

Gimme what I need to satisfy

This dirty one-track mind.

You know I ain’t got nothin’ but time

To burn with you tonight.

(2nd Pre-chorus)

  Now anything you see is everything you get

  At your desire.

  I know it’s makin’ you hot and know it’s soakin’ me wet.

  Higher and higher, feedin’ the fire,

  Let it burn.

(2nd Chorus)

  He’s got her and she’s hot and you got me.

  Don’t it taste so sweet!

  Makin’ magic, makin’ magic,

  It ain’t no mystery.

  Now, when I get into you, get into me.

  The rest is history.

  Makin’ magic, makin’ magic,

  Let’s get it together.  C’mon.

  Ready, get set, just like one two and three!

(Bridge)

  Now it’s taking me away to that magical land.

  Many will search and never find what’s yours and mine.

(Outro Chorus)

  You got me burnin’ hot, now you’re soakin’ me wet.

  Even better thana lick and a kiss.

  Makin’ magic, makin’ magic,

  It ain’t no mystery.

  Now, you think you’ve seen it all.

  You ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

  It sure beats the rest.

  Makin’ magic, makin’ magic,

  It ain’t no mystery.    

  (Repeat and fade)
