Eric Clapton - It's In The Way That You Use It Lyrics






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.

And if you lie you will lose it,
Feelings will show.
So don't you ever abuse it,
Don't let it go.

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.

[Repeat First Chorus 2x]

[Repeat Second Chorus]

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.

[Repeat First Chorus]

    in life some times in the moment we take things for granted back in the late 80,s i had the opportunity to jam with eric and some others while i consider my self an acomplished player i was amazed by his god given talent !!! wil always cherish the moment!!! one of the best among us!!!

    J.... G....

    Still playing it on the pool hall jukebox

    J.... G....

    @Timothy Ford because you are amazing!! if this came on the air in any bar, I would play a game... and lose and love it!!!

  38. K.... B....

    Paul Newman was an amazing actor !!!

  39. j.... w....

    wow, a real song, with an intro, verse, arrangement, solo and outro. hell, even a key modulation! what a concept. not all music seems to be 25 2-bar hooks/beats/"whoop!" that are all composed by different padusas and then cobbled together. (god, i sound like a grumpy old guy, but dang, i miss hearing real music, made in real time by real people...) rant over. ;)

  40. *.... L....

    Paul Newman is too cool 😎

  41. j.... m....

    Paul had been "hosed" by not winning oscar time and time again-he got it here- I loved him so! He is in better place, though

  42. c.... m....

    Eric Clapton was at his peak with this one !!!!

  43. G.... T....

    👍👍👍🎱

  44. B.... D....

    OHHH YEEAAHHH!!!! Memory lane we go people, when life was just plain and simple, not all this technology bullshit we live with today.

    B.... D....

    They had technology then

    B.... D....

    @Gina Tafferty, nothing compared to today's world

  45. V.... M....

    Clapton always got me. The way he sings and plays his guitar, it's like he is right in front of me. I don't know how he do that but i always feel good just to listen to this song

  46. J.... L....

    Not a huge fan of Clapton's solo stuff but this world be my favorite.

    I prefer the stuff he does while in a group

  47. i.... d....

    This is why clapton is the best that solo guitar at the end, waooooo

  48. D.... E....

    could kick one arse playing pool in the days

  49. G.... H....

    BUT DONT YOU EVER ABUSE IT.............BOY DONT YOU KNOW

  53. p.... ....

    I love love love his soloing all over the shop on this one.

  54. I.... C....

    As I think of that shot, the default is the sledgehammer ATOM. Thanks Paul Newman. Don't look so astounded, Tom Cruise has the magic after-All!

  55. A.... O....

    Who’s here because of the Color of Money?

  56. o.... ....

    This version sounds like shit.

  57. S.... A....

    TOM CRUISE = LEGEND

  58. C.... F....

    Who's here in 2019????!!!! :)

  59. G.... V....

    Paul Newman is The Man.

  60. a.... ....

    Still for me the greatest guitar solos ever. It may not be the hardest but man does it make the hairs stand up on your arm.

    This for me far outweighs his other more regarded solos such as Crossroads.

  61. N.... 6....

  92. S.... M....

    Power 80s !!!

  93. F.... P....

    IN QUESTO BRANO SLOW HAND AMPLIFICA E POTENZIA AL MASSIMO IL SUONO DELLA SUA CHITARRA CHE SI SCATENA COME UNA BESTIA INFERNALE NEI BREVI ASSOLI DI QUESTO BRANO PER POI ESPLODERE NEL FINALE IN MANIERA INCONTROLLATA CREANDO UN ESTASI DI PIACERE IN CHI ASCOLTA QUEL SUONO VIRTUOSO RABBIOSO E PERFORMANTE USCIRE DALLO STRUMENTO IN UN ASSOLO MASTURBATORIO CHE è MEGLIO DI UNA SCOPATA.

  94. K.... ....

    I will officially put Clapton up there as one of the best singers ever. I love his voice. It's perfect. I know other singers have range, other singers are good in other ways, but for me Clapton's voice is just right.

    K.... ....

    I agree,I love Eric's growl especially

  95. B.... R....

    It's In The Way That You Use It..

  96. T.... F....

    Cant shoot pool without this playing on the old juke.

  97. J.... O....

    2027 what fucking retards lol

  98. S.... R....

    My first concert was Derek and the Dominos in 70' and saw Clapton during his Slow hand tour in 78 or 79; . I liked his early playing  much better , I guess I liked the way he  played  the  blues .

  99. N.... D....

    I like the blue light shining on him in this video
