Almost Famous movie - That's the Way lyrics

rate me

Song by Led Zeppelin<br /><br>

I don't know how I'm gonna tell you, I can't play with you no more, <br>

I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me, My friend, the boy next door. <br>

I can't believe what people saying, You're gonna let your hair hang down, <br>

I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long, You're in the darker side of town. <br>

<br>

And when I'm out I see you walking, Why don't your eyes see me, <br>

Could it be you've found another game to play, What did mama say to me. <br>

<br>

That's The Way, Oh, That's The Way it ought to be, <br>

Yeah, yeah, mama say That's The Way it ought to stay. <br>

<br>

And yesterday I saw you standing by the river, <br>

And weren't those tears that filled your eyes, <br>

And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying, <br>

Had they got you hypnotized? <br>

<br>

And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers, <br>

But all that lives is born to die. <br>

And so I say to you that nothing really matters, <br>

And all you do is stand and cry. <br>

<br>

I don't know what to say about it, <br>

When all you ears have turned away, <br>

But now's the time to look and look again at what you see, <br>

Is that the way it ought to stay? <br>

<br>

That's the way... That's the way it oughtta be <br>

Oh don't you know now, Mama said.. that's the way it's gonna stay, yeah. <br>
