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 whoah whoah

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 whoah whoah

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

That's just the way it is

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

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

Baby

Baby that's just the way it is baby

Baby that's just the way it is baby
