Willie Nelson - It's Not Supposed To Be That Way Lyrics






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

Like the other little children
You're gonna dream a dream or two
But be careful what you're dreamin'
Or soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you

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

When you go out to play this evenin'
Play with fire flies till they're gone
Then you rush to meet your lover
And play with real fire till the dawn

But 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

When you go out to play this evenin'
Play with fire flies till they're gone
Then you rush to meet your lover
And play with real fire till the dawn

But it's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know that I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you

    Hi Daniel, so nice of you to stop by, has been a while :) Hope you and your family are doing well! The little one must be already quite a "young lady" by now :) I have to agree with you that Waylon owns the song eventhough Willie wrote it :) Thanks so much for your comment and take care!

    Ah Mr.Willie Nelson...where'd all you cowboys go...😢...he's so beautiful ❤🎸🎶

    It not suppose to be a man hitting a woman either. Or,putting her through mental abuse,just because she won't go along along with all your crazy either. That's my answer. Tell your woman you love her and show her too.

  22. n.... h....

    Willie's voice is too bad ass.

  23. M.... K....

    Beautiful ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼❤️❤️❤️❤️

    "Like the other little children, You're gonna dream a dream or two. But be careful what you're dreamin', Or soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you". Best line ever

  25. M.... J....

    Willie always helps when things hurt. Amen?

  26. M.... R....

    Phases and Stages is simply a stunning album. I wore out the record back then and had to buy a new one. The CD lives in the visor of my car.

    Sang this to my ex with my band at a gig tonight and she didn't even understand it😔

    N.... D....

    Nicholas Daly just life brother. I had many women over the years I could have spent life with. I moped around forever after my first marriage didn’t work in the Corps. I finally found a lady (or she found me. 😂) when I l least wanted a relationship. I’ve been married to her for 28years now. It’s not easy,, Not supposed to be, but it’s good. The point is let the past be and you’ll find a good thing when it’s time. Best to you.

  38. J.... D....

    One of the great Willie songs that still sooths my heart, been a fan since very early 60,s, still love his music
    Thanks

  39. J.... P....

    Here I am +40 yrs since first hearing it...damn Willie is good!

    J.... P....

    It's actually a Waylon song.

    J.... P....

    @Erik Hedenskog Wrong! It was written and first-sung by Willie Nelson.

  40. B.... J....

    I first got into Willie while in the Army around 1974/75 when Red Headed Stranger came out. Phases and stages was the next album I purchased. Love the story lines of the songs and how they connect. I remember purchasing most of his early albums right up to RHS in the bargain bins at ALCO or Walmart in Junction City, Kansas. With so many of the greats like Merle, George, Johnny and others leaving us, we need to put Willie in bubble wrap! Thank you Marianne for posting this!

    B.... J....

    Butch Jones very cool story. Btw, phases and stages is my favorite of Willie's albums.

    B.... J....

    He is never allowed to go! He is a national treasure.

  41. G.... S....

    Just the line that says "It's not suppose to be that way. . ." I miss you Daddy Rupert, and always will. . . you were taken too soon, if there is such a thing...Glenda Gooch...

  42. J.... ....

    G R E A T !

  43. C.... G....

    to the woman who was

    C.... G....

    Yes I no that !Long Long time a go.

  44. M.... J....

    He is still after all these years, the best. Thanks for posting.

    M.... J....

    Amen Marvin, in my opinion he is the BEST country artist what makes him uniques to me is the fact that his guitar is so old & rugged that he tried over the years to get if professionally fixed & couldn't without causing more damage to the guitar so naturally Willie just couldn't give up his guitar with all the holes & rips in it...... THAT IS WHAT MAKES HIS UNIQUE SOUND THAT NO ONE CAN EVER DUPLICATE HIS PLAYING!
    He is awesome & I'm so glad I got to see him at Jazz Fest a few years ago

  45. T.... R....

    Love this song!!
