I've nGever felt your kAiss upon my jDaw
DAnd every time he comes around I Emwatch you walk away
And eGverything yAou do there's a Dpart of me wBmith you
If I Emcould be your Ahideaway I'd sDhow you something new
And aGnytime yAou swear you Dpretend you nBmever cared
If EmI believed what Gyou believe I'Emd never dAare
[Chorus]
N.C.          D  
Why can't you be that way with me
EmTalk that way to me
GWalk that way Asmile that way
