\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Not This Way<\/strong><\/p>\n

It just can\u2019t be this way.<\/p>\n

An earthquake here.<\/p>\n

A tsunami there.<\/p>\n

Fighting in Iraq.<\/p>\n

Depression everywhere.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It just can\u2019t be this way.<\/p>\n

People murdered here.<\/p>\n

Terrorist attacks there.<\/p>\n

Lovers in the sack.<\/p>\n

Infidelity in the air.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It just can\u2019t be this way.<\/p>\n

My one and only love.<\/p>\n

Sent from God above.<\/p>\n

Walking out the door.<\/p>\n

Never to return anymore.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It just can\u2019t be this way.<\/p>\n

So, for what it\u2019s worth.<\/p>\n

There is no heaven on earth.<\/p>\n

Something\u2019s gone all wrong.<\/p>\n

Life is not a song.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It just can\u2019t be this way.———————-R. W. Johnson—–(2005)<\/p>\n

The Way It\u2019s Gotta Be<\/strong><\/p>\n

For me———-.<\/p>\n

She must be free to think,<\/p>\n

to do her will.<\/p>\n

Whatever it may be.<\/p>\n

She can come and she can go.<\/p>\n

As long as she shares her very soul——–.<\/p>\n

With me.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the way it\u2019s gotta be.<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t you see?<\/p>\n

For her to ever be part of me.<\/p>\n

She\u2019ll be free as the wind.<\/p>\n

Blowing here & there & back again.<\/p>\n

She\u2019ll share her every whim——-.<\/p>\n

With me.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the way it\u2019s gotta be.<\/p>\n

Can\u2019t you see?<\/p>\n

For her to be a part of me.——————-R. W. Johnson—–(2005)<\/p>\n
