The Way It Is

Don't tell me

My love's not the one that I want

That he's not the one that I need

I'd rather

find out for myself

You're the one

Who shakes at the touch of my hand

but can't decide where he should stand

If I was smart

I'd never call you, call you

ever again

Oh, in my ears

my blood is just roaring

when he's the only one I've ever wanted

I suppose that's just the way it is

Just to think this could be

The last time I hold you, hold you

ever again

Oh, I don't think I'll ever sleep till

morning

'cause he's the only one I've ever wanted

Oh, and in my ears

my blood is just roaring

'cause he's the only one I've ever wanted

I suppose that's just the way it is.
