|
Every night you and I catch a wandering eye |
|
We stand out like trees in cotton rows |
|
It ain't a look, it ain't a style we might throw |
|
down after a while |
|
It's the way we are and that's the way it goes |
|
Chorus |
|
The way we are, the way we are |
|
You might think we fell right off the same bright star, the way we are |
|
Never had a dream so good to me so far |
|
It don't leave nothing much to say, the way we are |
|
I'd lost my mind riding on the 99 |
|
When you found me singing sad and low |
|
And at the end of the track, you took my hand |
|
and led me back |
|
To the happy song I'd left so long ago |
|
Chorus |
|
It might be, I might say, we weren't born to be this way |
|
There's a million ways they say and this I see |
|
But it occurred to me last night, when I saw you standing in the moonlight |
|
If I die this way that'll be okay with me |
|
The way we are, the way we are |
|
You might think we fell right off the same bright star, the way we are |
|
Never had a dream so good to me so far |
|
I never thought I would meet someone who |
|
would share a fate like ours |
|
It don't leave nothing much to say the way we are |
