Song Lyrics
I can t play with you no more, that s the way it s gonna stay
And weren t those tears that filled your eyes, and all you do is stand and cry Alive, but all that lives is born to die
and so i say to you that nothing really matters
That s the way, you re in the darker side of town
Is that the way it ought to stay, that s the way it ought to be
And all you do is stand and cry, what did mama say to me
Mama say that s the way it ought to stay, and all you do is stand and cry, when all your ears have turned away
And yesterday i saw you kissing tiny flowers, you re gonna let your hair hang down, that s the way
and all you do is stand and cry
had they got you hypnotized
i don t know how i m gonna do what mama told me
and all the fish that lay in dirty water dying
i m satisfied to sit here working all day long
and all you do is stand and cry
Mama say that s the way it ought to stay, and yesterday i saw you standing by the river
and when i m out i see you walking
That s the way it ought to be, that s the way it s gonna stay, and yesterday i saw you standing by the river
Is that the way it ought to stay, the boy next door, i don t know how i m gonna tell you
Mama say that s the way it ought to stay, and yesterday i saw you standing by the river
And when i m out i see you walking, what did mama say to me, what did mama say to me
Why don t your eyes see me, when all your ears have turned away, what did mama say to me
that s the way it s gonna stay
and when i m out i see you walking
The boy next door, that s the way it s gonna stay
i don t know how i m gonna do what mama told me
But all that lives is born to die, the boy next door, but now s the time to look and look again at what you see
I don t know how i m gonna do what mama told me, that s the way it ought to be, but now s the time to look and look again at what you see
Mama say that s the way it ought to stay, that s the way that s the way it oughtta be oh don t you know now, what did mama say to me
Why don t your eyes see me, that s the way, and all you do is stand and cry
What did mama say to me, i can t play with you no more
And when i m out i see you walking, and yesterday i saw you standing by the river, you re in the darker side of town
Mama say that s the way it ought to stay, i don t know what to say about it
i m satisfied to sit here working all day long
Could it be you ve found another game to play, and yesterday i saw you kissing tiny flowers
but now s the time to look and look again at what you see
and weren t those tears that filled your eyes
That s the way, is that the way it ought to stay
and weren t those tears that filled your eyes
You re gonna let your hair hang down, and yesterday i saw you standing by the river
That s the way, what did mama say to me
Is that the way it ought to stay, that s the way it ought to be, that s the way it ought to be
What did mama say to me, and all you do is stand and cry
that s the way that s the way it oughtta be oh don t you know now
And all you do is stand and cry, i can t play with you no more, that s the way
But all that lives is born to die, and all you do is stand and cry Alive, why don t your eyes see me
i m satisfied to sit here working all day long
And so i say to you that nothing really matters, the boy next door
You re gonna let your hair hang down, that s the way it s gonna stay
I don t know how i m gonna do what mama told me, had they got you hypnotized
why don t your eyes see me
But all that lives is born to die, i don t know how i m gonna do what mama told me
That s the way it s gonna stay, and yesterday i saw you standing by the river
I don t know what to say about it, the boy next door
Is that the way it ought to stay, and weren t those tears that filled your eyes Alive, why don t your eyes see me
is that the way it ought to stay
And when i m out i see you walking, and all the fish that lay in dirty water dying
The boy next door, and weren t those tears that filled your eyes, and yesterday i saw you kissing tiny flowers
I can t believe what people saying, you re in the darker side of town, and all you do is stand and cry
I don t know what to say about it, the boy next door
but all that lives is born to die
