The Way It Goes
She is threatening to leave him
Can't say you didn't see it comin'
And still she whispers softly and sweetly
Those words he has never heard
So he is up and leavin'
Can't take the pain of loving
Anymore of this is killing me
Acting like children with me
And he says "tell me
You appreciate me
Love me the way I want to be loved"
A man must sweat to earn her love
Makes you wonder how he won it from the start
But still she keeps him happy and healthy
She bares herself to boys of twenty-three
Her excuse is he's not working
Justified to tear apart a family
The selfishness is killing me
Acting like children with me
And she says "show me
You appreciate me
Love me the way I want to be loved"
I want you to tell me sorry
So I can tell you no
It isn't quite that simple
That's not the way it goes
Can't say you didn't see it comin'
And still she whispers softly and sweetly
Those words he has never heard
So he is up and leavin'
Can't take the pain of loving
Anymore of this is killing me
Acting like children with me
And he says "tell me
You appreciate me
Love me the way I want to be loved"
A man must sweat to earn her love
Makes you wonder how he won it from the start
But still she keeps him happy and healthy
She bares herself to boys of twenty-three
Her excuse is he's not working
Justified to tear apart a family
The selfishness is killing me
Acting like children with me
And she says "show me
You appreciate me
Love me the way I want to be loved"
I want you to tell me sorry
So I can tell you no
It isn't quite that simple
That's not the way it goes
