That's The Way (Live 1972) [Remaster]

歌詞

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 sayin' You gonna let your hair hang down I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long You're in the darker side of town And when I'm out, I see you walkin' Why don't your eyes see me? And 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 oughta be" Yeah, yeah Mama said, "That's the way it oughta stay" Yeah, yeah Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh 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 dyin' Had they got ya 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 matters 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 Is that the way it oughta stay? "That's the way, that's the way it oughta be" Whoa, don'tcha know now Mama said, Mama said, "That's the way it's gonna stay" Yeah Ah, ah, ah, ah-ah-ah, ah, ah, ah, ah Aaah
