How Could It Be Like That Lyrics

Looking back when the times were good
We grew up together in our neighbourhood
Being friends and our love was strong
But then came the day when you were gone, yeah gone, yeah gone

How could it be like that
How could it be like that
Be like that

Remember when we couldn’t do no wrong
Like everything, like in a real love song
Ooh, sweet little woman when you were mine
Thought we had a love till the end of time, yeah time, yeah time

How could it be like that
How could it be like that
Be like that

We talked on the phone, we said we’d meet again
Down by the river when we met back then
I closed my eyes and you were there
I’m burning inside knowing that you care, yeah care, yeah care

How could it be like that
How could it be like that
Be like that
How could it be like that
How could it be like that
Be like that
Be like that
Be like that
How could it be like that

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
