Just The Way It Is, Baby

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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]
Baby, that's just the way it is, baby
Oh, oh, baby, that's just the way it is, baby

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
The tides that once had 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...

[Chorus]
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
Oh, that's just the way it is
Baby, that's just the way it is, baby (Ooh)
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
Baby, that's just the way it is, baby
Baby, that's just the way it is, baby
Baby, baby, that's just the way it is, baby
Baby, that's just the way it is, baby
Baby...
