IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY
(Willie Nelson)

Recorded by : Waylon Jennings; Willie Nelson.


It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you.

Verse 1:

Like the other little children
You're gonna dream a dream or two
But be careful what you're dreamin'
Soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you.
It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to control you.

Verse 2:
When you go out to play this evenin'
Play with fireflies till they're gone
Then you'll rush to meet your lover
Play with real fire til the dawn.

(repeat Chorus)
