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
