That's the Way It Is

Remember back in school, we learned the golden rule

Do unto others as you'd have and do to you

You're supposed to love me as much as I love you

It's a shame that ain't the way it is

Lovers in a movie on that great big screen

He treats her like she's a queen she treats him like a king

Wouldn't that be nice if life is lived that way

It's a shame that ain't the way it is

I'd like to start each morning with good morning dear

And end each night with the goodnight kiss

But all I have is your memory with me laying here

It's a shame but that's the way it is

A love song tells a story of a good love going bad

Then paints a pretty pictures of that same love coming back

I wish that I could sing it, I wish that I could paint it

It's a shame that ain't the way it is

I'd like to start each morning with good morning dear

And end each night with the goodnight kiss

But all I have is your memory with me laying here

It's a shame but that's the way it is

It's a shame but that's the way it is
