Just the Way It Is, Baby

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, whoa, whoa
Baby
That's just the way it is, baby

I've never had a hand for solitaire
It's so unfair
That 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, whoa, whoa
Baby
That's just the way it is, baby

The tide 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, ooh, 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 (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
