Lyrics Pete Townshend – I Like It The Way It Is

La da da…

I go halfway ’round the world
I need another girl
But when I see her all I do is think of you

I never wanna hurt you again I tried to change my life, I promise this
The only trouble is you no I think I like it the way it is
I think I like it the way it is

La da da…

As I lay awake alone
I know you are waiting home
And there’s really nothing going on

I try to please the local crew
‘Cause they say they love me too
But I’m really only showing off

I never wanna hurt you again I tried to change my life, I promise this
The only trouble is you no I think I like it the way it is
I think I like it the way it is

My heart, oh my heart is aching and I’m lonely for you
But I know that really they’ll seem like so many words of truth
Oh darling, oh darling, oh darling am I even worth your frown?
The sweetness of your kiss is gone I’ve brought a curse to you now

La da da…

I go halfway ’round the world
I need another girl
But when I see her all I do is think of you

We take a drink at my hotel
I pray for your telephone bell

I never wanna hurt you again I tried to change my life, I promise this
The only trouble is you no, I think I like it the way it is
I think I like it the way it is
I think I like it the way it is
Just the way it is
