That's Not The Way

Lyrics

always looking to be your lord and master
he will put you on a leash wait and see
meanwhile hunting for a girl who's faster
that’s not the way love’s supposed to be

leaves you all alone when you’re feeling frisky
knowing that you think that he’s not free
all the time he's out enjoying his whisky
that’s not the way love’s supposed to be

when he’s leaving
he’s deceiving
looks a lot like the same old story
he can sell you
but let me tell you
I believe we’d have a lovin' true

when he’s leaving
he’s deceiving
looks a lot like the same old story
he can sell you
but let me tell you
I believe we’d have a lovin' true
I believe we’d have a lovin' true
I believe we’d have a lovin' true

his straight and narrow path seems to be curving
and you’re holding on so hopelessly
it’s a hurtin’ place I’ve been observing
that’s not the way love’s supposed to be

when he comes home he’s a judge and jury
for the crimes that only he can see
there’s no escape from his fury
that’s not the way love’s supposed to
that’s not the way love’s supposed to
that’s not the way love’s supposed to be
