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

 [bad word] x2:]
Baby, that's just the way it is, baby, (whoa, whoa)
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

[Solo]

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...
