"By The Way" lyrics
By the way, did I hear you say?
If some night I seem too lonely
You would stay
Oh and by the way
Have I told you yet that only
Recently
He moved out on me
Took the towels we stole
From some motel in Tennessee?
He was gone long before he really left
I knew it
By the way he began to say
"Love takes time. I'm in a hurry."
Anyway that's all yesterday
Let's get back to us
Why worry?
If you try calling by and by
Oh, and by the way, I thought I mentioned
You can't stay
Leave the lights
You don't look a thing like he did
And it's time to play
It's another day
Why can't we make love fall by the way?
If some night I seem too lonely
You would stay
Oh and by the way
Have I told you yet that only
Recently
He moved out on me
Took the towels we stole
From some motel in Tennessee?
He was gone long before he really left
I knew it
By the way he began to say
"Love takes time. I'm in a hurry."
Anyway that's all yesterday
Let's get back to us
Why worry?
If you try calling by and by
Oh, and by the way, I thought I mentioned
You can't stay
Leave the lights
You don't look a thing like he did
And it's time to play
It's another day
Why can't we make love fall by the way?
