Lyrics
It's Not Supposed To Be That Way
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's not supposed to be that way you're supposed to know that I love you
But it don't matter anyway if I can't be there to control you
And like the other little children you gotta dream a dream or two
But be careful what you're dreamin' or soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you
It's not supposed to be that way you're supposed to know that I love you
But it don't matter anyway if I can't be there to console you
And when you go out to play this evening play with fire flies till they're gone
Then you rush to meet your lover and play with real fire till the dawn
It's not supposed to be that way you're supposed to know that I love you
But it don't matter anyway if I can't be there to console you
