0:01I don't know how I'm gonna tell you
0:08I can't play with you no more
0:15I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me
0:22My friend
0:23The boy next door
0:26I can't believe what people saying
0:29You're gonna let your hair hang down
0:31I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long
0:36You're in the darker side of town
0:39And when I'm out I see you walking
0:43Why don't your eyes see me
0:51Could it be you've found another game to play
0:54What did mama say to me
0:58That's The Way
1:00Oh
1:00That's The Way it oughtta be
1:04Yeah
1:05Yeah
1:09Mama say That's The Way it oughtta stay
1:13Yeah
1:13Yeah
1:14Ooh
1:15Ooh
1:16And yesterday I saw you standing by the river
1:23And weren't those tears that filled your eyes
1:26And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying
1:37Had they got you hypnotized
1:45And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers
1:51But all that lives is born to die
1:59And so I say to you that nothing really matters
2:02And all you do is stand and cry
2:04I don't know what to say about it
2:08When all your ears are turned away
2:17But now's the time to look and look again at what you see
2:31Is that the way it ought to stay
2:38That's the way
2:41That's the way it oughtta be
2:45Oh don't you know now
2:48Mama said
2:49Mama said
2:52That's the way it's gonna stay
2:54Yeah
