Lutricia McNeal Ain't That Just the Way lyrics

Ain't that just the way that life goes
Down, down, down, down?
Movin' way too fast or much too slow

He was a very special, warm and gentle person
Who put the music in the world and spoke in rhyme
And it hurts me that I never really knew him
â€~Cause all it would have taken was some time

You know he always seems to be there when I stumbled
And when mountains got too steep for me to climb
And it tears me up to think I never touched him
â€~Cause all it would have taken was some time
(Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah)

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
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
(Oh, yeah, yeah)

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
Not gettin' into someone I should know

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere

I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere
I'm gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down
Gettin' no, no, nowhere

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
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
