Page & Plant - That's The Way lyrics

rate me

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 friendthe 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

Ohthat's the way it ought to beahh-ohhohh-ahhahh-ahhohh-ohhdon't you know

Mama saidohhmama said

That's the way it ought to stayohh-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 seeohhh

Is that the way it ought to stay

That's the way

Ohhthat's the way it oughta beoh-hohoh-hohoh-hohoh-hohoh-hohno-no-no

Ohdon't you know now

Mama saidohmama said that's the way it's gonna stayoh-hohoh-hohohhh

Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh

Ahhh ahhhhh
