Way It's Gotta Be (Oh Yeah)

[Verse 1] There is something that I want that I just can't seem to find Stranded somewhere in my head, in the backstreets of my mind All the bright ideas quickly fall and fade away Or maybe you can keep them somewhere for a rainy day [Chorus] Oh no, oh yeah That's just the way it's got to be Oh no, oh yeah That's just the way it's got to be [Verse 2] Can it be so simple that it's just too plain to see? All the while the answers have been stood in front of me There is nothing you can give me that I really need Just the freedom to be myself and to have the thoughts I keep [Chorus] Oh no, oh yeah That's just thе way it's got to be Oh no, oh yeah That's just the way it's got to bе [Bridge] It's getting too late, too late to find Now the sun is sinking in the sky It's getting too dark, too dark to see Where this feeling is taking me [Instrumental] [Ad-libs: P.P. Arnold] Whoa oh yeah Oh woo woo yeah [Verse 3] All the things you've stolen, won't you give them back to me? Standing in the doorway is like a beggar or a thief All the good intentions in which the road to hell is paved I've got to keep believing somehow someday you'll be saved [Outro] Oh no, oh yeah That's just the way it's got to be Oh no, oh yeah That's just the way it's got to be
