Lyrics

[00:11.95] I don't know how I'm gonna tell you, I can't play with you no more,
[00:22.46] I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me, My friend, the boy next door.
[00:48.67] I can't believe what people saying, You're gonna let your hair hang down,
[00:58.74] I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long, You're in the darker side of town.
[01:28.99] And when I'm out I see you walking, Why don't your eyes see me?
[01:39.09] Could it be you've found another game to play, What did mama say to me?
[01:49.67] That's The Way, Oh, That's The Way it oughtta be, yeah, yeah,
[01:59.42] Mama say That's The Way it oughtta stay, yeah, yeah, ooh, ooh
[02:18.83] And yesterday I saw you standing by the river,
[02:23.80] And weren't those tears that filled your eyes?
[02:28.65] And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,
[02:33.96] Had they got you hypnotized?
[02:58.08] And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,
[03:02.82] But all that lives is born to die.
[03:07.79] And so I say to you that nothing really matters,
[03:12.64] And all you do is stand and cry.
[03:36.68] I don't know what to say about it,
[03:41.36] When all your ears are turned away,
[03:46.14] But now's the time to look and look again at what you see,
[03:51.05] Is that the way it ought to stay?
[03:56.52] That's the way...
[03:58.55] That's the way it oughtta be, oh don't you know now,
[04:05.92] Mama said, mama said...
[04:09.12] that's the way it's gonna stay, yeah.
