That's The Way - Live 1972; Remaster

I don't know how I'm gonna tell you

I can't play with you no more

I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me

My friend, the boy next door

I can't believe what people saying

You're gonna let your hair hang down

I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long

You're in the darker side of town

What you doing, what you doing, what you doing, I know

And when I'm out I see you walking

And why don't your eyes see me

Could it be you've found another game to play

What did mama say to me oh

That's the way, oh oh ohhhhh yeah oh no

Mama mama mama mama mama mama mama mama

Say

That's the way it ought to stay

I don't think so

Show don't think so, oh ohhh oh

And yesterday I saw you standing by the river

And weren't those tears that filled your eyes

And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying (dying)

Had they got you hypnotized?

Oh dear

Yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers

But all that lives is born to die

And so I say to you that nothing really matters no no

And all you do is stand and cry

I know I know

That's the way, that's the way it ought to be

Oh don't you know that

Oh when I wake up in the morning, morning, morning I tell my mama

That's the way it ought to stay

I don't think so

Oh ohh ohhh ohh ohh oh ohh ohh ohh

Hey

You didn't write, you didn't write, you didn't write

Mama mama

You didn't write, you didn't write, you didn't write

Mama mama

Oh ohh ohh ohh ohhh
