MIME-version: 1.0 It's Not Supposed To Be That Way Written & recorded by Willie Nelson on Phases & Stages Album Chorus: sus4 It's not supposed to be that way You're supposed to know I love you But it don't matter anyway If I can't be there to console you. Verse 1: Like the other little children You're gonna dream a dream or two But be careful what you're dreamin' Soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you. sus4 It's not supposed to be that way You're supposed to know I love you But it don't matter anyway If I can't be there to control you. Verse 2: When you go out to play this evenin' Play with fireflies till they're gone Then you'll rush to meet your lover Play with real fire til the dawn. (repeat Chorus)
