I Don't Want It That Way

(album: Ramblin' Rose - 1962)

I don't want it that way
I don't want it that way
It's just no good to be so free
I don't want it that way

You were mine yesterday
And I treated you cruel
Now I'm the fool who has to pay
I don't want it that way

(I don't want it that way) I don't want it that way
(I don't want it that way) I don't want it that way
It's just no good to be so free
I don't want it that way

(I don't wanna be sad) I don't wanna be sad
(I would rather be glad) I would rather be glad
This heartbreak feeling just won't heal
And it's driving me mad

I don't want it that way
I don't want it that way
It's just no good to be so free
I don't want it that way
I don't want it that way
