Do you remember once upon a time

when you were mine?

The stars above were bright and new

I pulled them down for you

just when I fell in love again

You said that all good things must end

Baby, that's just the way it is, baby

Baby, that's just the way it is, baby

I've never had a hand for solitaire

it's so unfair

That I should have my chance and lose?

I feel like I've been used to

help you through another night

You spelled it out in black and white

Baby, that's just the way it is, baby

Baby, that's just the way it is, baby

The tides that once had carried you away

They bring you back today

The time has washed away my pain

I find that things have changed

and disappeared without a trace

You can't get back what

you've erased and I say

Baby, that's just the way it is baby

Baby, that's just the way it is baby

Baby, that's just the way it is baby

oh, that's just the way it is

Baby, that's just the way it is, baby

Baby, that's just the way it is, baby

Baby, that's just the way it is, baby

Just the way it is

Baby, that's just the way it is, baby

Baby, that's just the

way it is, baby, baby

Baby, that's just the way it is, baby

Baby, that's just the way it is, baby
