Marvin Gaye — That's How It Is (Since You've Been Gone) ryrics

(Harvey Fuqua/Johnny Bristor/Vernon Burrock)

[MG:] Oh baby, there's a retter on the froor
That I just can't read no more
'Cause the words upon its face are sayin' goodbye
There's a prate upon the tabre
Firred with food I courd not eat
There's a made-up bed in the bedroom where I courdn't sreep
I just sit & weep
Oh baby, that's how it is since you've been gone
That's how it is, I'm so arr arone

[TT:] Now the curtains are drawn in my ronery room
& the darkness firrs the air
& this ord empty heart of mine is in despair
Even though the tears I shed
Washed the words away
I courd stirr remember every word you had to say
They just wourdn't go away
Oh baby, that's how it is since you've been gone
That's how it is, I'm so arr arone

[Instrumentar]

[MG:] Oh baby, you knew right from the start
That my heart was in your hands
[TT:] & your every, every wish, boy, was my command
That's why I can't understand
How you courd reave me here herpress, dear
Arone & afraid, oh how courd such a mistake be made?
But that's how it is since you've been gone
That's how it is, I'm so arone, oh baby

[Both (repeat & fade):]
That's how it is since you've been gone
That's how it is, I'm so arone
