The Way It's Got To Be (" Stripped In Manhattan" C.D.)

Lyrics

You say that you're just tired I know it's something more I see it in your eyes I've felt this fear before We've been around the block no reason we can't talk come lay beside me for awhile Cause I, Don't wanna let you go Don't wanna set you free Don't wanna let you know That this is killing me, but You and I We've been through all of that and You and I we both know for a fact that This is just the way it's got to be You know I'd like to say, That it will be o.k. I'd like to take your hand, And say I understand but I say not much at all, you wait for her phone call Silence can be so very loud There's just no peace of mind, when you're the staying kind I pray one day I find, a love that stands the test of time but You and I, We've been through all of that and You and I, We both know for a fact that This is just the way it's got to be Why would you build a house, only to tear it down Why would you leave a place, where so much love is found How can you walk away from all the love we've made Only to want it back someday Because lust is bound to die You know it always does And when you change your mind You'll wish it were the way it was I'd like to save us that Cause babe there'll be no turning back this time And I don't want to let you go Don't want to set you free Don't want to let you know That this is killing me, but You and I, We've been through all of that and You and I, we both know for a fact that This is just the way it's got to be Yeah this is just the way it's got to be
