Led Zeppelin 3
That's The Way
I don't know how I'm gonna tell you
I can't play with you no more,
I don't know how I'm gonna do what mama told me,
My friend, the boy next door.
I can't believe what people saying
You're gonna let your hair hang down,
I'm satisfied to sit here working all day long,
You're in the darker side of town.
And when I'm out I see you walking,
Why don't your eyes see me,
Could it be you've found another game to play,
What did mama say to me.

*That's The Way,
Oh, That's The Way it ought to be,
Yeah, yeah, mama say
[ Led Zeppelin Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
That's The Way it ought to stay.

And yesterday I saw you standing by the river,
And weren't those tears that filled your eyes,
And all the fish that lay in dirty water dying,
Had they got you hypnotized?
And yesterday I saw you kissing tiny flowers,
But all that lives is born to die.
And so I say to you that nothing really matters,
And all you do is stand and cry.
I don't know what to say about it,
When all you ears have turned away,
But now's the time to look and look again at what you see,
Is that the way it ought to stay?
That's the way
That's the way it oughtta be
Oh don't you know now
Mama said.. that's the way it's gonna stay, yeah.

Listening to the 3 versions of this song I have,the original from LZ III and two different live versions, Plant clearly sings "the GIRL next door". I don't know how someone could make such stupid mistake. My guess would be that they simply a not a Zepplin fan. Oh well. To each his or her own. Peace.

This total BS and HOW DARE YOU infer Robert Plant is gay?!! I saw him 2 times with Led Zepplin and He very clearly states " My friednd the GIRL next door"
This is pure sacrilage to disnonor one of the greatest vocalist & group of all time! Yeah, and what about all the wives and at least 2 children?

Comment by badgebunny

I was really hoping someone commentted on this song, but I guess I'm the first one. When I was 17 years old (1978) a friend of mine told me that the song was about two gay guys and I just didn't really believe him...now all these years later, I'm still not 100% convinced that Robert Plant had that in mind when he, or whomever, actually wrote it was saying.
