That's The Way
Bishop T.D. Jakes and the Potter's House Mass Choir Lyrics

Once she dressed in silks and lace, Owned a Rolls Royce car
There was a time when the woman had all the luxuries of life, but now she seems to have lost her place in society. She is like a fallen star.

Now she seems quite out of place, like a fallen star
The woman is no longer in her prime, and she no longer fits in with the wealthy and famous. She is like a fallen star, whose light has faded away.

Draped around my kitchen sink , Happy as can be
The woman is content with the simple things in life, and she is happy to be with the singer in his modest home.

I just have to stop and think, Why she fell for me.

Just glad I'm livin' and lucky to be

I got a woman crazy for me

I can't save a dollar, ain't worth a cent

She doesn't holler she'd live in a tent

Tho' she loves to work and slave for me ev'ry day

She'd be so much better off if I went away.

Still she's diff'rent from the rest, satisfied with me.

Can't help feeling it's a dream, Too good to be true.

Never had nothin'; no one to care

That's why I seem to have more than my share,

When I hurt her feelings, once in a while,

Her only answer is one little smile,

I can see no other way and no better plan,

End it all and let her go to some better man;

But I'm only human, coward at best

I'm more than certain she'd follow me west,
