Lyrics That's the Way It Is - Ella Fitzgerald

I tremble at your touch

I know I shouldn't

But that's the way it is

I want you oh-so much

I know I shouldn't

But that's the way it is

I can see so clearly

That we are worlds apart

But, oh, when you are near me

I can't see beyond my heart

I worship at your shrine

You said I shouldn't

But that's the way it is

I begged you to be mine

I said I wouldn't

But that's the way it is

I love you forever

Though it may never be

But that's the way it is

With a guy like me

I tremble at your touch

I know I shouldn't

But that's the way it is

I want you oh-so much

I know I shouldn't

But that's the way it is

I can see so clearly

That we are worlds apart

But, oh, when you are near me

I can't see beyond my heart

I worship at your shrine

You said I shouldn't

But that's the way it is

I begged you to be mine

I said I wouldn't

But that's the way it is

I love you forever

Though it may never be

But that's the way it is

With people like you and me
