Just the Way It Was

I liked you just the way you were
Liked everything just way it was
Slide on top
Love the way I work
Ash off top
Listen to your words

Rushing home in the morning
Kiss me before I go
Hate to leave you alone
I'll be back for more
And for hours we will go in
Just let me finish my shift at work

But a storm came in
Swept you from my mind
A yearn filled me
No I can't be kind
You can't always get what you want

I liked you just the way you were
Liked everything just way it was
Slide on top
Love the way I work
Ash off top
Listen to your words

Hate to know that you were my first
Heart broke off the top
It's the the way it works

I liked you just the way you were
Liked everything just the way it was

Like flowers
They bloom
And when it's dry
They die out
I'm fried out
Ain't no talking that could ever fix this

Ain't no sex
that good
that could ever change it
It's just how it goes

But a Storm came in
Swept it all from my mind
An ache filled me
You chipping at my ice
You might not get what you want

I liked you just the way you were
Liked everything just way it was
Slide on top
Love the way I work
Ash off top
Listen to your words

Hate to know that you were my first
Heart broke off the top
It's the the way it works

I liked you just the way you were
Liked everything just the way it was

I like you just the way you were
Just the way it was
