Текст Marvin Gaye – That’s How It Is (Since You’ve Been Gone)

MG
Oh baby, there’s a letter on the floor
That I just can’t read no more
‘Cause the words upon its face are sayin’ goodbye

TT
Now the curtains are drawn in my lonely room
& the darkness fills the air
& this old empty heart of mine is in despair
Even though the tears I shed
Washed the words away
I could still remember every word you had to say
They just wouldn’t go away
Oh baby, that’s how it is since you’ve been gone
That’s how it is, I’m so all alone

Instrumental

MG
Oh baby, you knew right from the start
That my heart was in your hands
TT
& your every, every wish, boy, was my command
That’s why I can’t understand
How you could leave me here helpless, dear
Alone & afraid, oh how could such a mistake be made?
But that’s how it is since you’ve been gone

Both (repeat & fade):
That’s how it is since you’ve been gone
That’s how it is, I’m so alone
