That’s the Way It Is Songtext
von Ella Fitzgerald & The Ink Spots

I tremble at your touch,
I know I shouldn′t,
But thats the way it is.

I want you oh so much.
I know I shouldn't,
But thats the way it is.

I can see so clearly.
That we are worlds apart,
But when you are near me,
I can′t see beyond my heart.

I worship at your shrine.
You said i shouldn't,
But thats the way it is.

I begged you to be mine.
I said i wouldn't,
But thats the way it is.


I love you forever.
Though it may never be,
But thats the way it is,
With a guy like me.

I tremble at your touch.
I know i shouldn′t,
But thats the way it is.

I want you oh so much.
I know i shouldn′t,
But thats the way it is.

I can see so clearly,
That we are worlds apart.
But oh when you are near me,
I can't see beyond my heart.

I worship at your shrine.
You said i shouldn′t,
But thats the way it is.

I begged you to be mine.
I said i wouldn't,
But thats the way it is.


I′ll love you forever,
Though it may never be,
But thats the way it is,
With people like you and me.
