from "Cabin Fever", 1978, Arista Records, Inc.





Well, I've been here--I'll be back again

But this time really feels like the end...

We rolled out our promises

and they all came up lies

And no one even mentions one more try...





Why should love be this way?

It lifts you up--

then brings you to your knees...

There's got to be another way

another way--

there's just got to be...





Well, it's over--the damage is done

But the questions have only begun...

And lying beside you,

just hasn't put right

this lonliness night after night...





Why should love be this way?

--It's taken

everything I need...

There's got to be another way

another way--

there's just got to be another way...





BRIDGE:

It isn't that we've changed our minds

--it's just that love got hard to find

in the silence we were living in...

And now the exits must be grand

--to see who wins the final hand...





Why should love be this way?

First it lifts you up--

then brings you to your knees...

There's got to be another way

ohh, another way--

there's just got to be...





Why should love be this way?

It just keeps takin'--

all the comfort that I need...

There's got to be another way

ohh, another way, baby--

there's just got to be...
