Ain’t that the way — ain’t that the way — ain’t
that the way it goes — believe me cause I know
Ain’t that the way you try to run away — ain’t
that the foolish game you try to play — baby
that ain’t the way it goes believe me cause I
know — you gonna learn the hard way
I heard your message on the phone today —
and it hurt me all the things you were sayin’
— you sad you need to get away — I wonder
what you feel in your mind — what would
make you feel that you need the time — to be
away from me baby … (baby)
Asked myself what have I been doing wrong
— so what the hell’s been going on — are you
messin’ around on me baby (don’t mess
with me) — still believe that your heart
belongs to mine — but if you leave boy i’m
gonna be fine . after all this time why you
wanna throw it away
Anin’t that the way you try to run away — ain’t
that the foolish game you try to play — baby
that ain’t the way it goes believe me cause I
know — you gonna learn the hard way — ain’t
that the way you try to make me cry — by
puttin’ me down and tryin’ to criticize — baby
that ain’t the way it goes believe me cause I
know — it’s time for me to say goodbuy
It hurts me what I’m feelin’ inside — all those
years I’ve been by your side — I think it’s time to
put things right — I know you feel that you
need to make a change — but all you’re doin’
is causing me pain — I should have known it
long ago — ain’t that the way
