That's The Way It Had To Go

We were laughin' at a joke that someone told
Kept on laughin' after the joke had gotten old
We were sweethearts but our love could never grow
That's the way it had to go

I was on you like a vulture in the sky
hoverin' waitin' for your love to die
we were lovebirds but our love could never fly
That's the way it had to go

That's the way it had to go
I was lost and I was lonely again
'Cause a dream was all I had
To wake up was to be sad
But I was happy just to have you as a friend

We were a couple minus the kissin'
that was about the only thing missin'
But we were headed in that direction
That's at least what I was wishin'

That's the way it had to go
I was lost and I was lonely again
'Cause to be with you so much
And yet be without your touch
was makin' it hard to be your friend
But I was happy just to have you as a friend
But I was gettin' tired of being just your friend
