The Way Things Have to Be

Lyrics

I've been down in Dallas Locked up in jail deep in Tennessee There ain't no pain like the pain of a broken heart Hanging out for everyone to see Every now and then I taste the pain Drop my head slowly take a breath The tears sooth me and I move along But the face of this love brings the kiss of death But love can move mountains Love can calm a raging sea But love can cripple a poor heart But that's just the way The way things have to be Sometimes I look on love Wonder how things ever got this bad The lessons I've learned will carry on Both the beautiful on happy and sad But love can move mountains Love can calm a raging sea But love can cripple a poor heart But that's just the way The way things have to be You might find love one day But then again It might not come your way I guess it's like all those old folks say That's just the way The way things have to be Yes that's just the way The way things have to be
