Everything was going fine
Until another caught your eye
Surprised as I was
Mmm, it was plain to see
Your mind was on another
You couldn't wait to be free
But how could you after loving me
Wanna just up and leave?
So...

(If this is the way)
If this is the way
(You want it)
You want it
(You got it)
You got it
(Have it your way)
Do what you wanna do
(But you'll be sorry)

(If this is the way)
If this is the way
(You want it)
You want it
(You got it)
You got it
(Have it your way)
You can go if you wanna go
(But you'll be sorry)

For leaving me alone
In a cold world
Where no one cares
(Where no one cares)
About the sorrow
And the pain one has to bear
I did nothing wrong
When you needed love
I was there
So...

(If this is the way)
If this is the way
(You want it)
You want it
(You got it)
You got it
(Have it your way)
You can go if you wanna go
(But you'll be sorry)

(If this is the way)
If this is the way
(You want it)
You want it
(You got it)
You got it
(Have it your way)
Do what you wanna do
(But you'll be sorry)

I may never discover what it means
You didn't see that made you just
Hop up and want to leave
Hop up and want to leave me
Hop up and want to leave
So...

(If this is the way)
If this is the way
(You want it)
You want it
(You got it)
You got it
(Have it your way)
You can go if you wanna go
(But you'll be sorry)

(If this is the way)
If this is the way
(You want it)
You want it
(You got it)
You got it
(Have it your way)
Do what you wanna do
(But you'll be sorry)
Oh, I did nothing wrong
