That`s The Way — текст песни (Page and Plant)

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
Gonna let your hair hang down
I`m satisfied to sit here working all day lo-o-o-ong
You`re in the darker side of town

And when I`m out I see you walking
Why don`t your eyes see me
Could it be you`ve found another game to play
What did mama say to me

That`s the way
Oh, that`s the way it ought to be, ahh-ohh, ohh-ahh, ahh-ahh,
ohh-ohh, dont you know
Mama said, ohh, mama said
That`s the way it ought to stay, ohh-hoh

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
Had they got you hypnotized

And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers
But all that lives is born to die
And so I say to you that nothing really matterrs
And all you do is stand and cry

I don`t know what to say about it
When all your ears have turned away
But now`s the time to look and look again at what you see, ohhh
Is that the way it ought to stay

That`s the way
Ohh, that`s the way it oughta be, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, oh-hoh, oh-hoh,
oh-hoh, no-no-no
Oh, dont you know now
Mama said, oh, mama said that`s the way it`s gonna stay, oh-hoh,
oh-hoh, ohhh

Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh

Ahhh ahhhhh
