C'est la vie, that's the way it goes, my love
C'est la vie, that's the way it goes, my love
I really didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't wanna cause you no pain
I'm sorry that I didn't love you
I know, you know I didn't feel the same
So what am I supposed to do with you?
Just marry you because you want me to
I'm sorry that it's me, I'm sorry that it's you
I'm sorry that it's me, but boy we're through!
C'est la vie, that's the way it goes, my love
Goodbyes are the hardest things to do
Especially when it's true
C'est la vie, that's the way it goes, my love
After the years I spent with you
I still can't say "I do!"
Loving you is something I couldn't do
I tried but the feeling just wasn't true
You tried to make it sound like I wanted you
I know, you know I didn't feel the same
So what am I supposed to do with you?
Just pack your things because you know we're through
I'm sorry that it's me, I'm sorry that it's you
I'm sorry that it's me, but boy we're through!
C'est la vie, that's the way it goes, my love
Goodbyes are the hardest things to do
Especially when it's true
C'est la vie, that's the way it goes, my love
After the years I spent with you
I still can't say "I do!"
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na, na
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na, na
That's the way it goes, that's the way it goes, my love
C'est la vie, that's the way it goes, my love
Goodbyes are the hardest things to do
Especially when it's true
C'est la vie, that's the way it goes, my love
After the years I spent with you
I still can't say "I do!"
C'est la vie, that's the way it goes, my love
Goodbyes are the hardest things to say
You best be gettin' on your way
C'est la vie, that's the way it goes, my love
Good times we had, but now we're through
Goodbye, lyin' next to you
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na, na
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na
Na na na na, na na na na, na
That's the way it goes, that's the way it goes, my love
