Ain't That Just The Way

Lutricia McNeal

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 time


You know he always seemed to be there when I stumbled


And when mountains got to steep for me to climb


And it tears me up to think I never touched him


'Cause all it would have taken was some time


Ain't that just the way that life goes


Down, down, down, down


Movin' way too fast or much too slow


Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down


Gettin' no, no, nowhere


But not gettin' into someone I should know


Now 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 time


Ain't that just the way that life goes


Down, down, down, down


Movin' way too fast or much too slow


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


Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down


Gettin' no, no, nowhere


But not gettin' into someone I should know


Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down


Gettin' no, no, nowhere


Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down


Gettin' no, no, nowhere


Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down


Gettin' no, no, nowhere


Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down


Gettin' no, no, nowhere


Ain't that just the way that life goes


Down, down, down, down


Movin' way too fast or much too slow


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
