Lyrics
The Way That I Want You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We're not talking
I'm not talking sensibly enough
You know the soul of a man is many coloured
Soul of a man one to another
Wants you another day
I'm not wishing on a star
Talk
The soul of a man is many coloured
Soul of a man wants you another
Another day
From the airport
To be by your side
From a reading
And that's the one
That hurts my pride
From the church yard
Into your trust
To the talk
That we must, we must rekindle
To the way I want you
To the way I don't want
Nothing from you
Nothing from you
Nothing from you
You know the soul of is man is many coloured
Soul of a man is many coloured
The soul of a man one to another
Want you another day
