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
Chorus
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)

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
