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
