If Thats The Way You Want It Songtext
Do-do-do-do-doo
Do-do-do-do-doo
When we′ve come to the end of our road
And somebody's got to be going
We′re trying just as hard as we can
But the emptiness is finally showing
If we let it go another day
There'll only be bitter words to say
So we'll push on fine
We′ll hit it on the line
You′re still a friend of mine
If that's the way you want it
Oh baby, you got it
If that′s the way you see it
Oh darling, so be it
I'll never give you a reason
To show me the backdoor
If that′s the way that you want it
Well I've been there before
Do-do-do-do-doo
Now it′s pretty clear that I've been hanging on too long
And when I'd ever feel like this
I moved along (I moved along)
Oh girl I won′t stand in your way
I know I′ve won my will for now
I've been right here (so many times)
I know what I′m talking about
(If that's the way that you want it)
(If that′s the way that you want it)
(If that's the way that you want it, baby)
Oh, I′m taking a good look around (look around, look around, look around)
And there's nothing I hope I'm forgetting
You happened to find my guitar
I′ll try to let you know where I′m headed
But there's a little bit of you inside
I′m taking it all for the ride
Through the same
About the years to blame
I go the way I try
If that's the way that you want it
Oh baby, you got it
If that′s the way that you see it (that's the way)
Oh darling, so be it
I′ll never give you a reason (I'll never give you a reason)
To show me the backdoor
If that's the way that you want it
Well I′ve been there before
If that′s the way that you want it, oh baby, you got it
If that's the way that you want it, oh baby, you got it
If that′s the way that you want it, oh baby, you got it
If that's the way that you want it, oh baby, you got it
If that′s the way that you want it, oh baby, you got it (ohh)
If that's the way that you want it, oh baby, you got it (get outta luck)
If that′s the way that you want it, oh baby, you got it (yeah)
If that's the way that you want it, oh baby, you got it
Do-do-do-do-doo
When we′ve come to the end of our road
And somebody's got to be going
We′re trying just as hard as we can
But the emptiness is finally showing
If we let it go another day
There'll only be bitter words to say
So we'll push on fine
We′ll hit it on the line
You′re still a friend of mine
If that's the way you want it
Oh baby, you got it
If that′s the way you see it
Oh darling, so be it
I'll never give you a reason
To show me the backdoor
If that′s the way that you want it
Well I've been there before
Do-do-do-do-doo

If that′s the way that you want it, oh baby, you got it
If that's the way that you want it, oh baby, you got it
If that′s the way that you want it, oh baby, you got it (ohh)
If that's the way that you want it, oh baby, you got it (get outta luck)
If that′s the way that you want it, oh baby, you got it (yeah)
If that's the way that you want it, oh baby, you got it
