I Like It The Way It Is

La da da da, la da da da

La da da da, la da da da

I go halfway 'round the world

I need another girl

But when I see her all I do is think of you

We take a drink at my hotel

I pray for your telephone bell

But it's my turn to call you won't come through

I never wanna hurt you again

I tried to change my life, I promise this

The only trouble is you know

I think I like it the way it is

I think I like it the way it is

La da da da, la da da da

La da da da, la da da da

As I lay awake alone

I know you are waiting home

And there's really nothing going on

I try to please the local crew

'Cause they say they love me too

But I'm really only showing off

I never wanna hurt you again

I tried to change my life, I promise this

The only trouble is you know

I think I like it the way it is

I think I like it the way it is

My heart, oh, my heart is aching

And I'm lonely for you

But I know that really must seem

Like so many words of truth

Oh darling, oh darling, oh darling

Am I even worth your frown?

The sweetness of your kiss is gone

I've brought a curse to you now

La da da da, la da da da

La da da da, la da da da

I go halfway 'round the world

I need another girl

But when I see her all I do is think of you

We take a drink at my hotel

I pray for your telephone bell

But it's my turn to call you won't get through

I never wanna hurt you again

I tried to change my life, I promise this

The only trouble is you know

I think I like it the way it is

I like it the way it is

I like it the way it is

Just the way it is
