That Dog – Just The Way lyrics

Please forgive me
For misreading into every word you said
From the beginning
I thought we were being careful
I thought it was innocent

I must admit that I was taken by surprise
By your commitment not to look me in the eyes
I've been a witness and I've watched you testify
Now I plead insanity instead of doing time

I guess it's just the way you like
It's just the way you like it
It's just the way you like it
It's just the way, just the way you like it

Keep your distance
Contact to a minimum
Stay calm, cool, and collect

Be consistent
Show no signs of weakness
Withdraw and disconnect

I must confess that after all of this time
Your mixed up messages still mess with my mind
I guess I, I learned my lesson
There's no question this time
I haven't felt like this since 1995

I guess it's just the way you like
It's just the way you like it
It's just the way you like it
It's just the way, just the way you like it

Don't bother to say goodbye
Just walk away
This will be the last time
I offer my sound advice
Because every time you leave
A part of me dies

Ha ha ha, ha ha ha
It's just the way you like it

I guess it's just the way you like
It's just the way you like it
It's just the way you like it
It's just the way, just the way you like it

I've been a witness and I've watched you testify
Mixed up messages still mess with my mind
Every time you leave a part of me dies
Every time you leave a part of me dies
