(Ain't that just the way that life goes down down down down
movin' way too fast or much too slow)
(oooooh)He 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 him
'Cause all it would have taken was some timeYou know he always seems to be there when I stumbled
And when mountains got too steep for me to climb
And it tears me up to think I never touched him
'Cause all it would have taken was some timeAin't that just the way that life goes
Down, down, down, down
Movin' way too fast or much too slow
I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
But not gettin' into someone I should knowNow he's in another place and I can't reach him
And I feel as though I'm guilty of a crime
I took all he had to give and gave him nothin'
And all it would have taken was some timeAin't that just the way that life goes
Down, down, down, down
Movin' way too fast or much too slow
I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
But not gettin' into someone I should knowAin't that just the way that life goes
Down, down, down, down
Movin' way too fast or much too slow
I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
But not gettin' into someone I should knowI'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhereAin't that just the way that life goes
Down, down, down, down
Movin' way too fast or much too slow
I'm 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)
