Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Feels like I'm goin' in circles
You're like a maze I can't get through
Should I go left? Should I go right?
Should I let you stay for the night?
[Verse 2]
It's like a see-saw when it comes to your love
Boy, when you're up, this girl is down
And I just can't figure it out
[Verse 3]
'Cause you know that I want you (Yeah)
And you know that I need you (Yeah)
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
My body is cryin' (Yeah)
These tears, can you wipe 'em? (Yeah)
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
[Verse 4]
I'm going out with guys
I don't wanna go to places that I've been before
(They pitching the same game) Boy, it's a damn shame
(How I wish it was you) Callin' me
(I want it to be you) Holdin' me
(Boy, it needs to be you) Kissin' me
[Verse 5]
'Cause it's like a see-saw when it comes to your love
Boy, when you're up, this girl is down
And I just can't figure it out
[Verse 6]
'Cause you know that I want you (Yeah)
And you know that I need you (Yeah)
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
My body is cryin' (Yeah)
These tears, can you wipe 'em? (Yeah)
Is that any way to be?
Just have your way with me
[Verse 7]
Listen
(Have your way with me) Have your way with me
(Anytime or anywhere, have your way) Anytime, anywhere
(However, I don't care) However
(Have your way with me) Have your way with me
(And you can have it tonight) Tonight
(Boy, tonight) Boy, tonight
(Tonight)
[Verse 8]
'Cause you know that I want you (Yeah)
And you know that I need you (Yeah)
Is that anyway to be?
Just have your way with me
My body is cryin' (Yeah)
These tears, can you wipe 'em? (Yeah)
(These tears, can you wipe them?)
Is that anyway to be? (Is it any way to be?)
Just have your way with me (Baby, have your way with me)
[Verse 9]
'Cause you know that I want you (Yeah)
('Cause you know that I want you, baby)
And you know that I need you (Yeah)
(And you know that I need you, baby)
Is that anyway to be? (In my life, I need you)
Just have your way with me (I want you behind and front)
[Verse 10]
My body is cryin' (Yeah) (I'm cryin' for you, baby)
These tears can you wipe them? (Yeah)
Is that anyway to be?
Just have your way with me
