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

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

I've never had a hand for solitaire, it's so unfair
Did I should have my chance and lose?
I feel like I've been used to help you through another night
You spelled it 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 once had carried you away
They bring you back today
The time has washed away my pain
I 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, oh, 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
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
