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
|
