THAT'S THE WAY Jimmy Page / Robert Plant I don't know how I'm gonna tell you I can 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 sayin': You gonna let your hair hang down. I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long. You're in the darker side of to__wn. An' when I'm out I see you walkin'. Why don't your eyes see me? And could it be you've found another game to play? A-what did mama say to me__? That's the way. Ohh that's the way it oughta be__ yeah, yeah. Mama said that's the way it oughta stay__~yeah, yeah. Oooh__. 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 dyin', 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 mattered An' 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 ya see. Is that the way it oughta stay? That's the way. That's the way it oughta be__. Whoah don't you know now. Mama said, mama said that's the way it's gonna stay__ yeah. Ahh. Ahh~ooh-ahhh__~ahhh__~ahhh__~ahhh. Ahhh__.
