It Be’s That Way Sometimes

Phillip Mitchell

[Intro]
It won't go out...

[Verse 1]
I've been abused, and I've been misused
And I'm mad as hell – in other words, I'm stone mad!
You know, I took a young lady out to dinner
And after dinner, she said "I'm gonna have to leave you now"
I said, "Do you mean to tell me I just spent 15 or 16 dollars
And you gonna leave me, and ain't gonna do nothing?"
Do you know, what that dirty... woman said?
Put her hand on her hip, looked at me and said:
"I knew all the time, what you had on your mind
But Joe Simon, it be's that way sometimes"

[Verse 2]
Have you ever wanted something
That you just couldn't have?
And have you ever hear something funny
It was so funny, but you just couldn't laugh?
Oh no... tell me, have you ever been someplace
You was having a good time
Oh, and you just didn't wanna leave?

[Chorus]
Oh, it be's that way sometimes
Let me say it again
It be's that way, it really be that way sometimes
If you don't mind hearing the truth

[Verse 3]
Have you ever, have you ever loved somebody
That didn't love you? It's hard, it's hard
And that somebody, that somebody you loved
Loved someone else too?
And that pain is so hard to bear
Have you ever been down and out?
Felt just like you were about to lose your mind

[Chorus]
Oh, it be's that way sometimes
Hey, it be's that way sometimes

[Bridge]
I wanna know, do you all know what I'm talkin' about
You see, life is a funny thing, children
Life ain't always in your favor, mm-mhm...

[Verse 4]
Have you ever, have you ever met somebody
That you really did like? Listen to me good now
And that somebody, that somebody you liked
That dirty dog, turned around and stabbed you in the back?
You took him to be your friend
You see, a true friend these days, oh, is kinda hard to find
Believe, what Joe Simon tell you

[Chorus]
It be's that way sometimes
I just wanna say it one more time
It be's that way, it really be that way sometimes
Oh... (it be's that way sometimes)
Oh, it really be that way sometimes

[Outro]
When you do all you can do (it be's that way sometimes)
Oh, but your friend don't give a damn about you
I tell you, it be that way sometimes (it be's that way sometimes)
You've given the cloth off your back
They turn around and around, and stab you in the back
(It be's that way sometimes) you know it be that way sometimes
Oh, believe me when I tell you (it be's that way sometimes)
It really be that way sometimes...
