Curly Myrick - It Be's That Way, rare 1979 oldies soul music
Lyrics:
When I was lil boy
My playmate was a lil girl that lived next door to me
I loved her so much
And then one day, she found anotha place to play
It hurt me so bad, I went into a state of shock
My dear mom tryna bring me out of this state of shock
Said some serious things to me
And here's what she said
When your playmate plays somewhere else
She puts your love up on the shelf
You feel you wanna die
And someone else is gettin your apple pie
It be's that way
It be's that way (it be's that way)
Your heart is bleedin your hurtin so inside
Your sweet thang plays at another house
Givin up love is what shes about
She's givin up love is what she's all about
It be's that way (momma said!)
It be's that way (it be's that way)
You've got the blues you feel misused
She said you in a court of (?)
It be's that way (momma said!)
It be's that way
And you can sing about, you can write about, you laugh about it, you can cry about it
But in end theres nothing you can do about it
It be's that way
It be's that way
It be's that way
Momma said son it be's that way
It be's that way
It be's that way
You win some you lose some momma said
Son my boy it be's that way
