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
