James Brown
The Way
[Verse 1]
All I see lying there in front of me
Maybe we were here before
I just didn't wanna believe
But in all that time we never talked
You wrote it down so I couldn't ignore it

[Chorus]
This is the way you want it to be
This is the way you want it to be
Oh, this is the way you want it to be
Guess you don't want me

[Verse 2]
We had love, always thought it would be enough
Oh, but then it goes away
But I don't really wanna give up
It feels like hell to let you walk
Bet it all down but I couldn't afford it

[Chorus]
This is the way you want it to be
This is the way you want it to be
Oh, this is the way you want it to be
Guess you don't want me
[Bridge]
And I never really said it before, oh
But I really should have given you so much more

[Chorus]
But this is the way you want it to be
This is the way you want it to be
Oh, this is the way you want it to be
Guess you don't want me
Guess you don't want me, no

[Outro]
Guess you don't want me
Yeah, you don't want
Guess you don't want me
