Intro: (2x) Verse1 ) 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 Oh oh Baby, that's just the way it is baby Verse2 I've never had a hand for solitaire, it's so unfair That I should have my chance and lose, I feel like I've been used To help you through another night, you've spelled it out in black and white Chorus Solo (Verse: first 2 lines) Verse3 The tide that once had carried you away, bring you back today Now 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 Chorus 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 Chorus (4x)
