That's The Way
FM Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Not a cloud overhead, let the sun shine down on me
I see a clear blue sky, feel a warm summer breeze
And it feels so good, baby, feels so good to be alive
And who cares about tomorrow, we still got tonight, yeah, yeah

Gimme a little piece of your heart, baby
Gimme a little piece of your soul
Gimme everything that you've got, baby
Gimme it all

'Cause that's the way
(That's the way)
That's just the way that it is
(That's just the way that it is)
Oh, that's the way
(That's the way)
That's just the way that it is
(That's just the way that it is)
Whoo-ooh-ooh...

When I look into the distance over everything I see, hey
Since you came along, girl, life's been good to me, yeah, yeah

Could this be heaven on earth, baby
'Cos it don't get any better than this
And you only get out what you give, baby
Life's what you make it, oh

'Cause that's the way
(That's the way)
That's just the way that it is
(That's just the way that it is)
Oh, that's the way
(That's the way)
That's just the way that it is, oh
(That's just the way that it is)

We don't have to worry about what the future brings
(What the future brings)
'Cos, girl, we got each other, that's a natural thing

Oh, we don't have to worry about what the future brings
(What the future brings)
'Cos, girl, we got each other, that's a natural thing

'Cause that's the way
(That's the way)
That's just the way that it is
(That's just the way that it is)
Oh, that's the way
(That's the way)
That's just the way that it is
(That's just the way that it is)

Well, that's the way
(That's the way)
That's just the way that it is
