I Can't Love You Like That



If that's the way you want it

I'll walk out the door

I won't argue anymore,

all you have to do is tell me you don't love me

it's that easy,

just tell me I'm a memory.



Don't know what else to say

don't know what else to do

I've said it a million times

I've mean't it even more,

I'm going to lay it on the line

Baby I love you

and I'll love you for all time,

but I can't love you like you want

no, I can't love you like that.



You want me to stay while you stray

want me to understand what your going through

and I do,

your holding on to something you left behind

and I'm holding on to a memory in my mind.



Please let go, turn me loose

you know I love you, you know I do,

but I can't love you like you want

no, I can't love you like that.
