[Verse 1]
I never knew the meaning of the words you'd never say
I've never felt your kiss upon my jaw
And every time he comes around I watch you walk away
And everything you do there's a part of me with you
If I could be your hideaway I'd show you something new

And anytime you swear you pretend you never cared
If I believed what you believe I'd never dare

[Chorus]
Why can't you be that way with me
Talk that way to me
Walk that way smile that way
Be that way with me
Why can't you be that way with me
Talk that way to me
Walk that way smile that way
Be that way

[Verse 2]
Once upon a yesterday I stared into your soul
Til I read the truth inside your ledger
If I can't exceed my grasp then what's a heaven for
In everything you say you try to run away
If I could be your turnaround I'd give you cause to stay

And anytime you swear you pretend you never cared
If I believed what you believe I'd never dare

[Chorus]
Why can't you be that way with me
Talk that way to me
Walk that way smile that way
Be that way with me
Why can't you be that way with me
Talk that way to me
Walk that way smile that way
Be that way with me

(Why can't you)
Be that way with me
(Why can't you)
Walk that way to me
(Why can't you)
Talk that way smile that way
(Never felt your kiss upon my jaw)

Be that way with me
(Why can't you)
Be that way with me
(Why can't you)
Talk that way to me
(Never felt your kiss upon my jaw)
Walk that way smile that way
(Why can't you)
Be that way with me

(Why can't you)
Why can't you be that way with me
(Why can't you)
Talk that way to me
(Never felt your kiss upon my jaw)
Walk that way smile that way
(Why can't you)
Be that way with me
