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 today
The 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
