Track Lyrics

INTRO

KEEP LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE

VERSE 1

HE BROKE YOUR HEART, WE HEARD THE NEWS
AND NOW YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO
HE MADE YOU CRY AND NOW HE'S GONE
SO WE HEAR YOU SAY YOU CAN'T CARRY ON

VERSE 2

AND NOW YOUR HEART GETS YOU RUNNING FOR COVER
AND WE BELIEVE YOU CAN'T TRUST ANOTHER
THAT'S HOW IT IS WHEN THE FEELING IS GONE
TAKE OUR ADVICE, KEEP LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE

CHORUS

THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE
THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS
KEEP LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE
OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH
KEEP LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE
OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH
KEEP LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE

VERSE 3

YOU MAY BE DOWN BUT YOU'RE NOT OUT
YOU MAY GET REAL HURT, THAT'S WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT
YOU HEAR THE NEWS, BROKEN HEARTS EVERY DAY
BUT STILL YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT CAN HAPPEN ANYWAY

VERSE 4

BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT IF YOU CHANGE YOUR LOVER
WE STILL BELIEVE YOU CAN'T TRUST ANOTHER
THAT'S HOW IT IS WHEN THE FEELING IS GONE
TAKE OUR ADVICE, KEEP LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE

CHORUS

THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE
THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS
KEEP LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE
OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH
KEEP LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE
OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH, YEAH
KEEP LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
KEEP LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
KEEP LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE

MIDDLE 8

TAKE OUR ADVICE, KEEP LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS, KEEP LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE

CHORUS

THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE
THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS
KEEP LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE
OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH
KEEP LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE
OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH, OOH
KEEP LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
THAT'S THE WAY IT IS
LOOKING AFTER NUMBER ONE

TO FADE
