That's the Way (1/4/71 Paris Theatre)

I don't know how I'm gonna tell you

I can't play with you no more

I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me

My friend the boy next door

I can't believe what people saying

You're gonna let your hair hang down

I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long

You're in the darker side of town

And when I'm out I see you walking

Why don't your eyes see me

Could it be you've found another game to play,

What did mama say to meThat's the way,

Oh, that's the way it ought to be,

Mama say that's the way it ought to stay, yeah, yeah oh ohAnd yesterday I saw you standing by the river,

And weren't those tears that filled your eyes,

And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,

Had they got you hypnotized?

And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,

But all that lives is born to die

And so I say to you that nothing really matters,

And all you do is stand and cryI don't know what to say about it,

When all you ears have turned away,

But now's the time to look and look again at what you see,

Is that the way it ought to stay?

That's the way

That's the way it oughtta be

Oh don't you know now

Mama said, mama said, that's the way it's gonna stay, yeah, oh oh
