If That's The Way

Lyrics: Dave Torbert
Music: Dave Torbert

Sung by Brent Mydland on the Matt Kelly album A Wing And A Prayer.

I used to walk you home after high school
I used to carry your books home too
And now you act like you don't even know me
Hey pretty moma what's wrong with you?

If that's the way that you really want things
If that's the way that it's gonna be
If that's the way that you really see things
Pretty moma say goodbye to me

You used to be my own special girl friend
You used to be my only one
But you been seen with somebody new
Gonna put you down where you belong

Yeah that's the way that I really want things
That's the way that it's gonna be
That's the way that I really see things
Pretty moma say goodbye to me

All of my friends they've been talking about you
And they all think that you put me down
I know you think I don't know about you
But pretty baby it's all over town

If that's the way that they really want things
If that's the way that it's gonna be
If that's the way that they really see things
Pretty moma say goodbye to me

I used to walk you home after high school
I used to carry your books home too
And now you act like you don't even know me
Hey pretty moma what's wrong with you?

If that's the way that you really want things
If that's the way that it's gonna be
If that's the way that you really see things
Pretty moma say goodbye to me

Then that's the way that I really want things
That's the way that it's gonna be
Yeah that's the way that I really see things
Pretty moma say goodbye to me, say goodbye to me
[yeah pretty moma say goodbye to me]
Say goodbye to me
[oh pretty moma say goodbye to me]
