The Way Things Are Going Lyrics

I used to think that I was a good girl
I used to think that the world was fair
Things have gone just a little bit crazy
Don't think I belong anywhere

I'm not so sure, I don't think I know
And I'm not afraid to tell you I'm a little bit scared
The way things are going I'm never gonna get there
No, the way things are going I'm never gonna get there

I used to think that I was a dreamer
I used to have my head in the clouds
Lately life's been nothing but a nightmare
The world keeps turning around and around
The world keeps turning around and around
The world keeps turning around and around

I feel so close, I don't think I know
And it's hard for me to tell you, its a little bit weird
The way things are going I'm never gonna get there
No, the way things are going I'm never gonna get there

I used to think I was a dreamer

I'm never gonna get there

No the way things are going I'm never gonna get there

I used to be a good girl
I used to be a good girl
I used to be a good girl
I used to be a good girl

In Your Keeping

I used to think that I was a good girl 
I used to think that the world was fair 
Things have gone just a little bit crazy 
Don't think I belong anywhere

I'm not so sure, I don't think I know 
And I'm not afraid to tell you I'm a little bit scared 
The way things are going I'm never gonna get there 
No, the way things are going I'm never gonna get there

I used to think that I was a dreamer 
I used to have my head in the clouds 
Lately life's been nothing but a nightmare 
The world keeps turning around and around 
The world keeps turning around and around 
The world keeps turning around and around

I feel so close, I don't think I know 
And it's hard for me to tell you, its a little bit weird 
The way things are going I'm never gonna get there 
No, the way things are going I'm never gonna get there

I used to think I was a dreamer

I'm never gonna get there

No the way things are going I'm never gonna get there

I used to be a good girl 
I used to be a good girl 
I used to be a good girl 
I used to be a good girl

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
