Doesn't Have to Be This Way Lyrics

Our love is on the line
You say that we are through
If you'll forgive me one more time
I'll make it up to you...
White lies now paint my future black
They've fooled around too long
Didn't mean to do you wrong...no, my love...

It doesn't have to be this way - we can work it out
And no matter what the signs may say
We're worth a second bout
It doesn't have to be this way
Don't let our magic slip away
we were meant to be - you and me
Our silver lining's kinda torn
The storm clouds gather grey
I search your eyes for rays of hope
For a glimpse of yesterday
Some flighty madness turned my head
Our happiness at stake
I just pray it's not too late.... no, my love
Through ups-'n'-downs - through thick 'n' thin
We've been around - we've had our fling
When all is said and done...we're meant to be as one...

It doesn't have to be this way - we can work it out
And no matter what the signs may say
We're worth a second bout
It doesn't have to be this way
Don't let our magic slip away
'cause we were meant to be
just you and me, just you 'n' me
