That s The Way lyrics
I don t know how I m gonna tell you, I can t play with you no more,
I don t know how I m gonna do what mama told me, My friend, the boy next door.
I can t believe what people saying, You re gonna let your hair hang down,
I m satisfied to sit here working all day long, You re in the darker side of town.

And when I m out I see you walking, Why don t your eyes see me,
Could it be you ve found another game to play, What did mama say to me.

That s The Way, Oh, That s The Way it ought to be,
Yeah, yeah, mama say That s The Way it ought to stay.

And yesterday I saw you standing by the river,
And weren t those tears that filled your eyes,
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,
Had they got you hypnotized?

And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,
But all that lives is born to die.
And so I say to you that nothing really matters,
And all you do is stand and cry.

I don t know what to say about it,
When all you ears have turned away,
But now s the time to look and look again at what you see,
Is that the way it ought to stay?

That s the way... That s the way it oughtta be
Oh don t you know now, Mama said.. that s the way it s gonna stay, yeah.
