《That’s the Way I’ve Always Heard It Should Be (In the Style of Carly Simon)(Performance Track with Demonstration Vocals)》歌词

[00:00:00] My father sits at night with no lights on

[00:00:07] His cigarette glows in the dark

[00:00:14] The living room is still;

[00:00:17] I walk by no remark

[00:00:27] I tiptoe past the master bedroom where

[00:00:34] My mother reads her magazines

[00:00:41] I hear her call sweet dreams

[00:00:44] But I forgot how to dream

[00:00:55] But you say it's time we moved in together

[00:01:01] And raised a family of our own you and me -

[00:01:08] Well that's the way I've always heard it should be:

[00:01:13] You want to marry me we'll marry

[00:01:21] My friends from college they're all married now;

[00:01:28] They have their houses and their lawns

[00:01:35] They have their silent noons

[00:01:38] Tearful nights angry dawns

[00:01:49] Their children hate them for the things they're not;

[00:01:55] They hate themselves for what they are-

[00:02:02] And yet they drink they laugh

[00:02:05] Close the wound hide the scar

[00:02:16] But you say it's time we moved in together

[00:02:23] And raised a family of our own you and me -

[00:02:29] Well that's the way I've always heard it should be:

[00:02:34] You want to marry me we'll marry

[00:02:44] You say we can keep our love alive

[00:02:50] Babe - all I know is what I see -

[00:02:57] The couples cling and claw

[00:03:00] And drown in love's debris

[00:03:11] You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds

[00:03:18] But soon you'll cage me on your shelf -

[00:03:24] I'll never learn to be just me first

[00:03:29] By myself

[00:03:39] Well O K it's time we moved in together

[00:03:45] And raised a family of our own you and me -

[00:03:51] Well that's the way I've always heard it should be

[00:03:56] You want to marry me we'll marry
