It's Not Supposed to Be That Way - Willie Nelson

It’s not supposed to be that way

You’re supposed to know I love you

But it don’t matter anyway

If I can’t be there to console you.

And like the other little children

You’re gonna dream a dream or two

But be careful what you’re dreamin'

Or soon your dreams’ll be dreamin' you.

It’s not supposed to be that way

You’re supposed to know I love you

But it don’t matter anyway

If I can’t be there to console you.

When you go out to play this evenin'

Play with fire flies till they’re gone

Then you rush to meet your lover

Play with real fire till the dawn.

It’s not supposed to be that way

You’re supposed to know I love you

But it don’t matter anyway

If I can’t be there to console you…
