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 never had a head for solitare

It's so unfair

That I'd should have my chance and lose

Feel like I've been used to help you

Through another night

You spelled in 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 had once carried you away

They bring you back again today

Time has washed away my pain

You'll 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

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, that's just the way it is Baby

Baby, that's just the way it is Baby
