It was easy back in our little town No responsibility We had the world in the palm of our hands So young and wild and free Young lovers we were gone and run away And our parents would never agree And they said That's not the way it's supposed to be That's not the way it's supposed to be Running down the highway in the middle of the night We surely had it made Wasn't long before we had our first fight Almost threw it away I took one look at her point of view I got so mad I couldn't see And I said That's not the way it's supposed to be That's not the way it's supposed to be Oh talk to me and make it last Feels like we had to grow up fast It scares me when life gets so real That's not the way it's supposed to feel That's not the way it's supposed to be That's not the way it's supposed to be Things don't always go like they're planned Some just disappear We're still together in the shifting sand After all of these years Yeah I can still kick and scream all night When we disagree, I know, I know That's not the way it's supposed to be That's not the way it's supposed to be Oh talk to me and make it last Everybody's got to grow up fast It still scares me when life gets so real That's not the way it's supposed to feel No Mmm that's not the way That's not the way No, no, no, no, no That's not the way That's not the way it's supposed to be
