Story Behind The Song
By far this is the longest song on the album at over six minutes. This deals with turmoil within a relationship and how things don?t have to be that bad. I used a stage electric piano on this one as it has a nice warm sound.

Lyrics
It Don?t Have To Be This Way
Words and music by Robert Marsh

VERSE ONE:
Love?s not good enough for you
Even though your life?s so blue
Could you ever choose between
A love affair or being queen
From the start you were cold
And you just could not be told
Would you ever like to say
Would you still be here today
Feeling the strain you run and hide
Where nothing is proved and nothing is tried
CHORUS:
And no it don?t have to be this way
It don?t have to be this way at all
And no it don?t have to be this way
It don?t have to be this way at all
No not at all
VERSE TWO:
Well it?s like a crying shame
When there?s nothing left to gain
When your heart is on the run
And you?re feeling like the only one
Feeling the strain you run and hide
Where nothing is proved and nothing is tried
REPEAT CHORUS
Feeling the strain you run and hide
Where nothing is proved and nothing is tried
REPEAT CHORUS
