(Verse I)
There are ways to do these things.
You didn't do that.
Like the song the gypsy sings,
About the moon in the dark half,
And the way the church bells ring,
When they're rung,
But it's not for joy.
Don't be happy.
And it's not for love.
Don't be glad.
(Chorus Refrain)
It's Not For You Or Me To Say, which way.

(V II)
There are ways these things are done.
Didn't you know that?
Like the way the song is sung,
Can put the feet on the right path,
And the way the bells are rung,
When you sing,
But it's not for joy,
If you're unhappy.
And it's not for love,
If you're so sad.
It's Not For You Or Me To Say, which way.

(Bridge)
There are mysteries of life.
I can't explain them.
Secrets of the night.
I can't contain them.
Two wrongs don't make right.
There are things that I can't do without.
Things I can't do a thing about,
So I sing,
But it's not for joy.
Don't be happy.
Sing, but it's not for love.
Don't be glad.
It's Not For You Or Me To Say.
It's Not For You Or Me To Say
It's Not For You Or Me To Say
It's Not For You Or Me To Say, which way.

(V III)
There are things you ought to know.
I didn't tell you.
Things that ought to show.
You didn't see them.
That's the way it always goes.
It always goes.

(Repeat Bridge)

This was a Sister-Song to "My Love Just Seems To Grow," written together. When I got stumped on what to say next, on one Song, I'd switch to the other, keeping the pleasure of the Creative Flow going, rather than dull it with frustration. Hence, 'Sister-Song'.
