That's The Way It Is With You
THE PARTRIDGE FAMILY

(Harriet Schoch)

Did you ever read a book that's the kind of book you thought
You'd never ever want to put down
One good scene just leads to another
It spinnin' your head around
Longer you read it the surer you get
That ya gotta just keep on goin'
That give and reach
Like gettin' an itch in a scratch where ya itch
And a love that keeps on growin'

That's the way it is with you baby
You reach down in my soul
Turn off my control
That's the way it is with you, baby
And let me be the first one to say, I thank you

Did you ever hear a song
That's the kind of song you wanted to sing along
From beginning to end
The third time you heard it, ya knew the words
But ya had to hear the tune again
Over and over and over and over, ya got to hear it one more time
Like real good meals and cookies and kids
Tears and hummin' this love of mine

That's the way it is with you, baby
You got me by the core
Ya got me screamin' more
That's the way it is with you baby
Let me be the first one to say

How much can I need you
And how much longer
How do you feed an endless hunger

That's the way it is with you baby
You reach down in my soul
Turn off my control
That's the way it is with you baby
Let me be the first one to say, I thank you
