The Way

Hey baby
I called to say I gave up that narcotic
But ever since I quit I ain't got much to say
And I found out that loving a man is overrated
'Cause she's been nicer to me than you've been all day

I think of all I've lost and all I gave away
And I bang my head and tears fall down my face
I'd like to make it up to all of you that I've disappointed
But forgive me love if I don't show up I'm looking for the way

To the sky, to the rainbows
Baby to them pearly gates (the way)
To the mountaintop to my superhuman stage (the way)
And when I get there will you be there? (The way)
Oh baby, will you be there?

I think of all the mistakes that I've made
The times I went when I wish I had stayed
Just like Frank I can truly say
That I did it my way, did it my way (the way)

I want it, I want it (the way)
I want it, I want it

And all the people here they look so happy and successful
Maybe I could be that way if only I knew (the way)

Gonna reside in my dreams, that's where I'll make it
Where the memory of me is never faded
And I wake up in a nightmare
'Cause I, I still ain't satisfied

Hey, the way
To the sky, take me to them pearly gates
To the mountaintop, to my superhuman stage
To the rainbows baby, to the love we make, hey yeah

(The way)
To my one day, to my someday, yeah, yeah, yeah (the way)
To the big old smile, to the big smile on my face
So happy, successful
Yeah maybe after that, I I'll have (the way)

Baby, to the love we make
And will you be there while I get there
By my side, baby?
Baby, take my hand
Yeah, yeah, oh
And show me the way

I want it, I want it (the way)
I want it
Take my hand and show me (the way)

All the people here they look so happy and successful
Maybe I could be that way if only I knew
All the people here they look so happy and successful
Maybe I could be that way if only I knew
(And all the people here they look so happy and successful)
