Ain't That Just The Way

(Ooo-ooh, ooo-ooh)
 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 seems to be there when I stumbled (Do it, do it)
 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 time
 Ain'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
 I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
 Gettin' no, no, nowhere
 But not gettin' into someone I should know
 Ain't that just, ain't that just
 Ain't that just, ain't that just
 Ain't that just, ain't that just
 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 (Ooo-ooh)
 Ain't that just the way (Ooo-ooh)
 Ain't that just the way (Ooo-ooh)
 Ain't that just the way (Ooo-ooh)
 Ain'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
 I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
 Gettin' no, no, nowhere
 But not gettin' into someone I should know
 Ain't that just (Ooo-ooh)
 Ain't that just (Ooo-ooh)
 Ain't that just (Ooo-ooh)
 But not gettin' into someone I should know
