Ain’t That Just the Way

She was a very special warm and gentle person
Who put in music in the world and spoken in rhyme
And it hurts me that i never really knew her
＆cause all it would have taken was some time
You know he always seemed to be there when i stumbled
And when mountains got to steep for me to climb
And it tears me up to think i never touched her
＆cause all it would have taken was some time
Ain't that just the way that life goes
Down, down, down, down
Movin' way too fast or much too slow
Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
But not gettin' into someone i should know
Now she's in another place and i can't reach her
And i feel as though i'm guilty of a crime
I took all she had to give and gave her nothin'
And all it would have taken was some time
Ain't that just the way that life goes
Down, down, down, down
Movin' way too fast or much too slow
Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
But not gettin' into someone i should know
Ain't that just the way that life goes
Down, down, down, down
Movin' way too fast or much too slow
Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
But not gettin' into someone i should know
Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
Ain't that just the way that life goes
Down, down, down, down
Movin' way too fast or much too slow
Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
But not gettin' into someone i should know
Ain't that just the way that life goes
Down, down, down, down
Movin' way too fast or much too slow
