She's in the rowboat,
tears of laughter flood
ing her face
She's bailing out her sinking ship
He's on the shore
and he's knee deep in the water
Clutching his life preserver for a
dear life
She falls in love like she's
going to the market
Embracing each lover with a yellow
He sleeps alone,
holding out for Princess Charming
Stuffing his hands in the pockets
of those old jeans
And she thinks that she's
really living life
And he thinks that she's
reckless and careless,
but they never say that
But different ways,
just let it be that way,
just let it be that way
She lays it all out, right on the table
She ain't got no secrets
An d he doesn't speak
unless he's spoken to empty
He keeps it all close to the vest
She says, I love you like it's past the salt,
dear man
She makes it known before
they slip away
He whispers,
I love you like it's a four -letter word
And it is his gift to only
one woman
And she thinks that she's
really a living life
And he thinks that she's a reckless one
Careless one, they got the
same blood
There are different ways,
just let it be the way, just let it be
And wait I know you've
walked through more life than I
You don't see me
But I've seen some things
in these twenty years
You can draw me all the maps
of the falling places
But the only way I find them is if I
I go by myself, oh yeah
I do it by yourself, oh yeah
I do it my self
Oh, I
Because I know that
I'm really loving life
And I, I know you think that
I'm reckless and careless
But because I'm saying that
I'm a different way
Just let it be, yeah
Just let it be
That way, oh
Let it be
Be that way
Be that way
