If that’s the way it’s gotta be
Then I’ll have to set you free
You can walk away from me
If that’s the way it’s gotta be

You say you found somebody new
Well, that won’t stop my loving you
I’ll be a ong while you are free
If that’s the way it’s gotta be

All my yesterdays have gone
Only darkness can I see
But your love lives on and on
And you just won’t let me be

Well, I guess it’s happened for the best
I just lost my happiness
And if you love him more than me
Then that’s the way it’s gotta be
