That's the Way It Is Lyrics

Remember back in school we learned the golden rule
Do unto others as you'd have and do to you
You're supposed to love me as much as I love you
It's a shame that ain't the way it is
Lovers in a movie on that great big screen
He treats her like she's a queen she treats him like a king
Wouldn't that be nice if life is lived that way
It's a shame that ain't the way it is
I'd like to start each morning with good morning dear
And end each night with the goodnight kiss

But all I have is your memory with me laying here
It's a shame but that's the way it is

(guitar)
A love song tells a story of a good love going bad
Then paints a pretty pictures of that same love coming back
I wish that I could sing it I wish that I could paint it
It's a shame that ain't the way it is
I'd like to start each morning...
It's a shame but that's the way it is
