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
