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
