I don't know how I'm gonna tell you
I can't play with you no more
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me
My friendthe boy next door

I can't believe what people saying
Gonna let your hair hang down
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day lo-o-o-ong
You're in the darker 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

That's the way
Ohthat's the way it ought to beahh-ohhohh-ahhahh-ahhohh-ohhdon't you know
Mama saidohhmama said
That's the way it ought to stayohh-hoh

And yesterday I saw you standing by the river
Find More lyrics at www.sweetslyrics.com
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 matterrs
And 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 you seeohhh
Is that the way it ought to stay

That's the way
Ohhthat's the way it oughta beoh-hohoh-hohoh-hohoh-hohoh-hohno-no-no
Ohdon't you know now
Mama saidohmama said that's the way it's gonna stayoh-hohoh-hohohhh

Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhhhhh

Ahhh ahhhhh
