I don't know how I'm going to tell you I can't play with you no more I don't know how I'm going to do what mama told me My friend the boy next door

I can't believe what people saying You only let your hair down I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long You're in the darkest 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

Riff 2 Riff 1 That's the way Oh that's the way it ought to be Riff 2 Riff 3A 2x Mama said that's the way it ought to stay

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 matters And all you do is stand and cry

I don't know what to say about it When all your ears are turned away But now's the time to look and look again at what you see Is that the way it ought to stay

Riff 2 Riff 1 That's the way That's the way it ought to be Whoa don't you know now Riff 2 Riff B 3x Mama said mama said that's the way it's going to stay Ahh Ahh

Aaaaaaaaaah Ahhh Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh

Riff 5 until end
