Lyrics:
Why can't we be normal
Like the good Lord said
He promised to exhalt us
The law is the way

How can men be so greedy
When there's so much there
All the things that God's given
And they all have been blessed

That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, yeah
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, yeah

Don't let your heart be troubled
Let the moment inside us loose
There to help one another
And live in perfect peace

If we just be humble
Like the good Lord says, yeah
He promised to exhalt us
And love is the way

That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, be, ooh, yeah
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, be
Yeah

I hope you'll get this message
Where you won't others will
You don't understand it
But I

That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, be, yeah
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, be, yeah, yeah

That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, be, oh
That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, be, oh, oh, oh, wow

That's the way God planned it
That's the way God wants it to be, be
Oh, yeah, yeah, oh, wow, wow
That's the way God planned it
That's the way

Is this the last recording made by John Deacon before he hung his bass guitar & retired from making music / public life?

[DaveRFuller]

'No One But You' was the last recording John was involved with.

[HeartcoreBass]

Johns typical way to play the bass makes the whole song sounding a bit like queen. Legendary bass player!
