lyrics

There’s no question how I feel about you, no convincing me it’s really true
I never stopped bein’ strong girl, still I long girl for you

Somewhere deep inside you baby there’s a woman, who needs a man like me
And she’s testin’ the water, in tryin’ to be a friend of mine

But when you’re tired of lookin’ up, and tired of looking down, you’re tired of lookin back, you can take a look around

It’s just the way that you are, the way that you are, you love runnin’ away
There’s the way that I am, the part of my plan to get you back someday

There’s the way that you are, the way that you are, you love runnin’ away
There’s the way that I am, the part of my plan to get you back someday

Yes I’m trying to get my fix on you, I’m not tryin’ to play no tricks on you
I’ll wait around with my good luck, on balconies and bended knees

Somewhere deep inside you baby there’s a woman, who needs a man like me
And she’s testing the water, in tryin’ to be a friend of mine

But when you’re tired of lookin’ up, and tired of looking down, you’re tired of lookin’ back, you can take a look around

It’s just the way that you are, the way that you are, you love runnin’ away.
There’s the way that I am, the part of my plan to get you back someday

Oh I, I’ve gotta a feeling that this feeling, it’s never gonna settle down
Or is it just … is it just a matter of time

Somewhere deep inside you baby there’s a woman, who needs a man like me
And she’s testin’ the water, in tryin’ to be a friend of mine

But when you’re tired of lookin’ up, and tired of looking down, you’re tired of lookin’ back, you can take a look around

It’s just the way that you are, the way that you are, you love runnin’ away
There’s the way that I am, the part of my plan to get you back someday
