LED ZEPPELIN - That's The Way lyrics

rate me

I don't know how I'm gonna tell you<br>I can't play with you no more,<br>I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me,<br>My friend, the boy next door.<br>I can't believe what people saying<br>You're gonna let your hair hang down,<br>I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long,<br>You're in the darker side of town.<br>And when I'm out I see you walking,<br>Why don't your eyes see me,<br>Could it be you've found another game to play,<br>What did mama say to me.<br><br>*that's the way,<br>Oh, that's the way it ought to be,<br>Yeah, yeah, mama say<br>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>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>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>That's the way<br>That's the way it oughtta be<br>Oh don't you know now<br>Mama said.. that's the way it's gonna stay, yeah.
