Back the Way - Carly Simon

Back the way it was before

Before the heart was broken

Playing hookey, making cookies

We were always jokin?

Back the way it used to be

Talks didn’t end in a quarrel

Everything seemed so normal

Back the way it was before

But now the limo pulls up to the door

And she gets in

She calls bye, bye honey

Here is some money

I forgot the groceries

Back the way it was before

The chicken pox was easy

We told each other everything

And nobody was nosey

Back the way it used to be

When we were a happy family

Nobody ever asked us

If we wanted tiny little sandwiches

Sent up to our room
