That’s the Way It’s Got to Be Lyrics by The Poets

Wooden Spoon: The Singles Anthology 1964-1967

1965

[Verse 1]
You may live for me today
Then tomorrow go away
There will be no tears from me
That's the way it's got to be
That's the way it's got to be
[Verse 2]
You say you'll stay by my side
That's something we can't decide
We can only wait and see
That's the way it's got to be
That's the way it's got to be
[Bridge]
But for now, let's live
And we might find
That our love will be
The lasting kind
[Verse 3]
Love may be like summer's rain
Quickly come, then gone again
It may last eternally
That's the way it's got to be
That's the way it's got to be
[Outro]
That's the way it's got to be
That's the way it's got to be
That's the way it's got to be
That's the way it's got to be
It's got to be that way
It's got to be that way
That's the way it's got to be
It's got to be that way
That's the way it's got to be
It's got to be, it's got to be that way
Well, that's the way it's got to be
It's got to be that way...
