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 (whoah whoah)
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

The tides 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
