Lyrics

You said I was your everything
The only one you want or need
I don't know what's going on
But I can tell that something's wrong

If you gotta run around, be that way
If you're gonna let me down, hear me say
I'm not gonna hang around one more day
If you're gonna be that way
If you wanna work it out, tell me how
Stop me from walking out, do it now
Why do you keep playing those games you play
Doesn't have to be that way

If you're looking for a reason to spread your wings
You might be wondering
How it feels with someone new
Don't be thinking I'll be waiting if you change your mind (your mind)
You think that love is blind, but I've got news for you, oh

If you gotta run around, be that way
If you're gonna let me down, hear me say
I'm not gonna hang around one more day
If you're gonna be that way
If you wanna work it out, tell me how
Stop me from walking out, do it now
Why do you keep playing those games you play
Doesn't have to be that way

It isn't up to me to tell you what's wrong or right (or right)
We could talk all night (talk all night) and still be where we were before
I used to think that I could find the truth in your eyes
Now all I see is lies, I can't do this anymore, oh, oh, oh

If you gotta run around, be that way (oh, oh)
If you're gonna let me down, hear me say
I'm not gonna hang around one more day (more day)
If you're gonna be that way
If you wanna work it out, tell me how
Stop me from walking out, do it now
Why do you keep playing those games you play
Doesn't have to be that way

Don't be thinking I'll be waiting if you change your mind
You think that love is blind
But baby, not this time

If you gotta run around, be that way
If you're gonna let me down, hear me say
I'm not gonna hang around one more day (more day)
If you're gonna be that way (be that way)
If you wanna work it out, tell me how
Stop me from walking out, do it now
Why do you keep playing those games you play
Doesn't have to be that way (be that way)

If you gotta run around, be that way
If you're gonna let me down, hear me say (oh baby)
I'm not gonna hang around one more day (oh yeah)
If you're gonna be that way (gonna be that way)
If you wanna work it out, tell me how (oh no)
Stop me from walking out, do it now (stop me from walking out)
Why do you keep playing those games you play (why do you keep plaing those)
Doesn't have to be that, be that, be that, be that way
