Lyrics That's the Way It Is - Ella Fitzgerald, The Ink Spots

That's the Way It Is

I tremble at your touch,
I know I shouldn’t,
But thats the way it is.
I want you oh so much.
I know I shouldn’t,
But thats the way it is.
I can see so clearly.
That we are worlds apart,
But when you are near me,
I can’t see beyond my heart.
I worship at your shrine.
You said I shouldn’t,
But thats the way it is.
I begged you to be mine.
I said I wouldn’t,
But thats the way it is.
I love you forever.
Though it may never be,
But thats the way it is,
with a guy like me.
I tremble at your touch.
I know I shouldn’t,
But thats the way it is.
I want you oh so much.
I know I shouldn’t,
But thats the way it is.
I can see so clearly,
That we are worlds apart.
But oh when you are near me,
I can’t see beyond my heart.
I worship at your shrine.
You said I shouldn’t,
But thats the way it is.
I begged you to be mine.
I said I wouldn’t,
But thats the way it is.
I’ll love you forever,
Though it may never be,
But thats the way it is,
With people like you and me.
