Written by bob welch.         She is over there, that the one I mean   Yeah she really haunts me   Friend your lookin' strange, is there something wrong   Uh oh the truth is dawning   Guess you were her old man before I was your friend   Funny how fate plays another trick again....      (chorus)      Fate decides, totally   Fate decides, it ain't me   Fate decides, who do you love   The hand of fate decides....      It's amazing how the hand of fate revoles & your caught in the circle   If you're a real friend you'll never mind that I happened to love that girl   She's neither yours or mine   Part of the whole design   I got to take my chance   Cause when it's time it's time...      (repeat chorus)
