Lyric That s The Way

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
Gonna let your hair hang down
I m satisfied to sit here working all day lo-o-o-ong
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, ahh-ohh, ohh-ahh, ahh-ahh, ohh-ohh, dont you know
Mama said, ohh, mama said
That s the way it ought to stay, ohh-hoh

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 matterrs
And all you do is stand and cry

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

That s the way
Ohh, that s the way it oughta be, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, no-no-no
Oh, dont you know now
Mama said, oh, mama said that s the way it s gonna stay, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, ohhh

Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh

Ahhh ahhhhh
