That's The Way I Always Heard It Should Be - Hit Co. Masters[00:00:00]
My father sits at night with no lights on[00:00:04]
His cigarette glows in the dark[00:00:12]
The living room is still[00:00:18]
I walk by no remark[00:00:21]
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where[00:00:32]
My mother reads her magazines[00:00:39]
I hear her call sweet dreams[00:00:46]
But I forgot how to dream[00:00:49]
But you say it's time we moved in together[00:01:00]
And raised a family of our own you and me[00:01:06]
Well that's the way I've always heard it should be[00:01:12]
You want to marry me we'll marry[00:01:17]
My friends from college they're all married now[00:01:27]
They have their houses and their lawns[00:01:33]
They have their silent noons[00:01:40]
Tearful nights angry dawns[00:01:43]
Their children hate them for the things they're not[00:01:54]
They hate themselves for what they are[00:02:01]
And yet they drink they laugh[00:02:08]
Close the wound hide the scar[00:02:11]
But you say it's time we moved in together[00:02:22]
And raised a family of our own you and me[00:02:29]
Well that's the way I've always heard it should be[00:02:35]
You want to marry me we'll marry[00:02:39]
You say we can keep our love alive[00:02:50]
Babe all I know is what I see[00:02:57]
The couples cling and claw[00:03:03]
And drown in love's debris[00:03:06]
You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds[00:03:17]
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf[00:03:24]
I'll never learn to be just me first[00:03:31]
By myself[00:03:36]
Well OK[00:03:45]
It's time we moved in together[00:03:46]
And raised a family of our own you and me[00:03:51]
Well that's the way[00:03:58]
I've always heard it should be[00:03:59]
You want to marry me we'll marry[00:04:02]
Marry[00:04:09]
