Just The Way It Is, Baby Lyrics

Do you remember once upon a time, when you were mine?
The stars above were bright and new-I pulled them down for you
Just when I fell in love again, you said that all good things must end
BABY....THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS BABY (WHOAH WHOAH)
BABY....THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS BABY
I've never had a hand for solitaire-It's so unfair
That I should have my chance and lose-I feel like I've been used
To help you through another night-You spelled it out in black and white
(CHORUS)
The tides that once had carried you away, they bring you back today
The time has washed away my pain-I find that things have changed
And disappeared without a trace-You can't get back what you've erased
And I say (CHORUS to fade)

hmmm not that I'm aware of... I heard it long back in the early 90's before Friends came out and I kept saying, "I know this song but I don't know who sings it".. then when the Friends theme came out I found it by accident by purchasing the wrong cd...shrugs

this song was stuck in my head and i couldn't think of title or artist; the refrain just looped in my head. quick search on letssingit.com and came up with Remb's (shock). thank fuck for bands who title their works appropriately.

This guy, who has been hurt before, finally is able to love someone again, and then she drops him cold (probably cheated on him). After a long time, she wants to come back to him, but he won't. It's not because he is still hurt, but just because time changed things. "You can't get back what you've erased."

That's just the way it is. That's what she told him, and not it's what he is telling her.

:)

I love that line the best in the song "You can't get back what you've erased"...oh yeah hits the nail on the head every time,baby. ;)
