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

 Baby, that's just the way it is Baby
 Baby, that's just the way it is Baby

 I never had a head for solitare
 It's so unfair
 That I'd should have my chance and lose
 Feel like I've been used to help you
 Through another night
 You spelled in out in black and white

 Baby, that's just the way it is Baby
 Baby, that's just the way it is Baby

 The tides that had once carried you away
 They bring you back again today
 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

 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
 Baby, that's just the way it is Baby
 Baby, that's just the way it is Baby

 Baby, that's just the way it is Baby
 Baby, that's just the way it is Baby

 Baby, that's just the way it is Baby
 Baby, that's just the way it is Baby
