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.

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
