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
