That's The Way
A-Kay Lyrics

Once she dressed in silks and lace, Owned a Rolls Royce car
She used to have a luxurious lifestyle with expensive clothes and a fancy car.

Now she seems quite out of place, like a fallen star
But now she feels displaced and forgotten, like a celebrity who has lost their fame.

Draped around my kitchen sink , Happy as can be
She is now content with her humble life and finds joy in the ordinary things, like doing dishes.

I just have to stop and think, Why she fell for me.
He can't help but wonder why someone who had everything would fall in love with someone like him.

I'm not much to look at, nothing to see
He doesn't consider himself particularly attractive or interesting.

Just glad I'm livin' and lucky to be
But he is grateful to be alive and have the love of his woman.

I can't save a dollar, ain't worth a cent
He admits he isn't good with money and doesn't have much to his name.

She doesn't holler she'd live in a tent
But his woman doesn't complain and would be happy to live with him anywhere.

Tho' she loves to work and slave for me ev'ry day
Even though she works hard to take care of him every day,

She'd be so much better off if I went away.
he believes she would be better off without him.

But why should I leave her, why should I go
But he doesn't want to leave her, as he loves her.

She'd be unhappy without me I know
He believes she would be unhappy without him.

She should have the very best, Anyone can see
He acknowledges that she deserves the best in life.

Still she's diff'rent from the rest, satisfied with me.
But even though she could have anyone, she is happy with him.

While I worry plan and scheme, Over what to do
He is always worried and trying to come up with a plan to provide for her.

Can't help feeling it's a dream, Too good to be true.
He almost can't believe how lucky he is to have her love.

Never had nothin'; no one to care
He admits to never having much in life and not having anyone to care about him before her.

That's why I seem to have more than my share,
So he feels like he has been blessed with more than he deserves.

When I hurt her feelings, once in a while,
He sometimes unintentionally hurts her feelings.

Her only answer is one little smile,
But she forgives him easily and responds with a smile.

I can see no other way and no better plan,
He can't imagine a better plan or way of life.

End it all and let her go to some better man;
Although he doesn't want to, he sometimes thinks it would be best for her to be with someone else.

But I'm only human, coward at best
But he admits he is only human and a bit of a coward.

I'm more than certain she'd follow me west,
He knows that no matter where he goes, she will follow him and stay by his side.

I got a woman crazy for me,
Despite all of his faults and shortcomings, he has a woman who is in love with him.

She's funny that way.
It might seem strange to others, but to him her love is just funny that way.
