Lyrics
JUST THAT WAY
Words And Music By Johnny Rodgers And Richard Barone
Just that way down to the river,
Lord knows He better wash you clean.
Don't delay back to the Giver,
To deliver temptation's queen.
Here I stand, torn up and tattered,
Laid bare for all the world to see.
Dreams I planned, shot up and shattered,
Comes time I gotta set them free.
'Cause how many lies, how many alibis
Can one woman claim?
And ain't it a shame how many hurtful games you play?
Yet you Never Take the Blame ...
It's just that way, down and they're countin' ...
Let me hear you say "One, two, three."
Ain't no way I'm movin' a mountain.
That mountain better move to me.
'Cause how many lies, how many alibis
Can one woman claim?
And ain't it a shame how many hurtful games you play?
No use complainin', It's a cryin' sin.
(But) there's no hope remainin' ...
You know I'm goin' down again ..
Down again
It's just that way ... shame to admit it. ..
Just thinkin' what a fool I've been.
Sad to say ... she gone done and did it..
She done did to me again.
'Cause how many lies, how many alibis
Can one woman claim?
And ain't it a shame how many hurtful games you play?
Yet you Never Take the Blame.
