Ask no questions
Leave no clues
Just close the door behind you
When you leave this place
You don't know my name
We'll, I'm lying low, but I'm running scared
There's a feeling here
I wasn't prepared for
Meeting you, honey, it seems so strange
No, no, no
That's not the way it's s'posed to be
You're not s'posed to get to me
Oh, I close my eyes
And I don't want to miss this dream
This dream
I've always played hard to get
Now I want you to go, but don't leave yet
There's a lot of lonely just outside my door
I want to go
Want to hide
I want your love and I don't know why
Playing hard to get
Just doesn't work anymore
No, no, no
That's not the way it's s'posed to be
No, you're not s'posed to get to me
Oh, I say I love you
But I don't know what it means
No, no, no
That's not the way it's s'posed to feel
No, so good
Too good to be real
Oh, I close my eyes
And I don't want to miss this dream
There always was a ending
Me, always me pretending a heart couldn't break
And no one could take my love a live
And here you are
Oh, why?
Oh, why?
Oh, why?
No, that's not the way it's s'posed to be
No, you're not s'posed to get to me
No, that's not the way it's s'posed to be
No, you're not s'posed to get to me
No, that's not the way it's s'posed to be
No, you're not s'posed to get to me
No, that's not the way
