The Way You Should

original song

By Anna ScoutenPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

you’re my baby tonight

And maybe tomorrow if that’s alright.

But the next day you’ll be gone,

I guess I knew that all along,

‘Cause you don’t love me the way you should.

If tomorrow you stay,

I’ll go on thinking for another day,

That you’d want me more

If I wasn’t such a bore.

But you don’t love me the way you should.

Darling, it’s me you should choose.

I’ll love you forever, there’s nothing to lose.

I love you baby, please stay

For just another day.

But you don’t love me the way you should.

when I say goodbye,

Know that I think I might die,

Now that I live in your eyes.

Now that I live in your eyes.

How does anyone know?

When it right to stay or if it’s time to go?

I love you baby, I do

I wish you loved me too.

But you don’t love me the way you should.

And they keep telling me that that’s no good.

No you don’t love me the way you should.
