Lyrics to It Doesn't Have To Be That Way
It Doesn't Have To Be That Way Video:
Snowy night and Christmas lights

Icy window panes

Make me wish that we could be

Together again

And the winty winter avenues

Just don't seem the same

And the Christmas carols sound like blues

But the choir is not to blame



But it doesn't have to be that way

What we had should never have ended

And I'll be dropping by today

We could easily get it together tonight

It's only right



Crowded stores, the corner Santa claus

Tinseled afternoons

And the sidewalk bands that play their songs

Slightly out of tune

On the windy wintry avenues

There walks a lonely man

And if I told you who he is

I think you'd understand



But it doesn't have to be that way

What we had should never have ended

And I'll be dropping by today

We could easily get it together tonight

It's only right
