It's Not the Way

We used to live south of paradise
That was okay 'til you put your heart on ice
You walked out the door and couldn't say goodbye, now

Hid away and left me lonely
When I asked you why, you couldn't be precise
Now it's my turn, so take my advices

It's not the way that you love me
Not the way that you care

You've been running down love's back alleys
Hung to yourself like a spoiled child
You're driving me crazy, it's driving me wild

Your heart is like an elevator
You tell me that's on the human nature
I've done all I can, I can't seem to arrange you

Not the way that you love me
Not the way that you care

Oh, no, it's not the way
(No, no, no) oh, no, it's not the way
Listen, mister, to what I say
(No, no, no) oh, no, it's not the way

Your love is like a nasty habit
When I finally get control, I just can't take it
I try to be cool, but I just can't make it

Your heart is like an elevator
You tell me that it's just human nature
I've done all I can, I can't seem to change you

Oh, no, it's not the way
(Oh, no, no) oh, no, it's not the way
Listen, mister, to what I say
(Oh, no, no) oh, no, it's not the way

Oh, no, it's not the way (no, no, no)
(No, no, no) oh, no, it's not the way
Listen, mister, to what I say
(No, no, no) oh, no, it's not the way

Love is tough, love is tender
It can always make your heart surrender
Love is sweet, love is kind
Love will always blow your mind, oh

It's not the way that you love me
Not the way that you care

Oh, no, it's not the way
(No, no, no) oh, no, it's not the way
Listen, mister, to what I say
(Oh, no, no) oh no, it's not the way

Oh, no, it's not the way
(Oh, no, no) oh, no, it's not the way
Listen, mister, to what I say
(No, no, no) oh, no, it's not the way

Oh, no, it's not the way (no, no, no)
(Oh, no, no) oh, no, it's not the way
Listen, mister, to what I say
(No, no, no) oh, no, it's not the way

Oh, no, it's not the way (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Oh, no, it's not the way
Listen, mister, to what I say
Oh, no, it's not the way

Oh, no, no, no, no
Oh, no, it's not the way
Listen, mister, to what I say
Oh, no, it's not the way
