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, You're 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 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,
|
Yeah, yeah, mama say That's The Way it ought to stay.
|
|
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 matters,
|
And all you do is stand and cry.
|
|
I don't know what to say about it,
|
When all you ears have turned away,
|
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see,
|
Is that the way it ought to stay?
|
|
That's the way... That's the way it oughtta be
|
Oh don't you know now, Mama said.. that's the way it's gonna stay, yeah.
