The Way You Are (Tu Come Stai)

(album: Thelma Houston - 1994)

All alone along the road
I'm trying to find a place to stay
I spend my time wrapped in my pain
Thinking about the way we were
The way you are, the way you are
The way you are

There's an empty space in me
Nothing to share, nothing to live
Even my dog is sad and tired
And I keep thinking here, my dear
The way you are, the way you are
The way you are

The way you feel, the place you live in
Who comes and takes you home
Who makes you drive her car
And is she in all your dreams
Who knows who's calling you
To tell you that she loves you

The way you are
The way you are
The way you are
The way you are (ooh-ooh)
The way you are (ooh-ooh)
The way you are

Yesterday I found that little gift you gave to me
I lost my joy, my happiness
I have no choice, I have to forget
The way you are, the way you are
The way you are

The things you live with, where you are going
Who took you away from me
Who's face beside you in my doorway
She makes you feel
I'm crying, your name I shout
For someone else is with you

The way you are
The way you are
The way you are...
The way you are

I feel that nothing's ever changed
The women always take control away from me
Seems like nothing's happened
It, it's alright
Time will never take away the way I feel about, ah baby

The way you are
The way you are, baby
Na-na-na, na-na-na... [ad-lib]
Baby, baby, baby, baby, I know...
