That's How It Is (Since You've Been Gone) (The Complete Duets 2001)

Текст песни Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye - That's How It Is (Since You've Been Gone) (The Complete Duets 2001)

Oh baby, there's a letter on the floor
That I just can't read no more
'Cause the words upon its face are saying goodbye
There's a plate upon the table
Filled with food I could not eat
There's a made up bed in the next room
Where I couldn't sleep
I just sat and weeped

Oh baby, that's how it is
Since you've been gone
That's how it is
I'm so all alone

Now the curtains are drawn in my lonely room
And the darkness fills the air (Oh, Tammi)
And this old empty heart of mine is in despair (So tough, darling)
Even though the tears I shed
Wash the words away
I could still remember
Every word you had to say (Forgive me, baby)
They just wouldn't go away

Oh baby, that's how it is (Oh darling)
Since you've been gone
That's how it is
I'm so all alone

Oh baby, you knew right from the start
That my heart was in your hands
And your every, every wish, boy, was my command
That's why I can't understand
How you could leave me here, helpless, dear
Alone and afraid
Oh, how could such a mistake be made? (Oh baby)

But that's how it is
Since you've been gone
That's how it is
I'm so all alone
Oh baby
Ooh, that's how it is
Since you've been gone
That's how it is
Darling, I'm all alone
Oh baby
That's how it is
Since you've been gone
That's how it is
I'm so all alone
