I Like It That Way

who knows
if it'll work this time
yeah but you said you were willing
to give it a try
and who knows
if i will just stand back
can't you see i'm holding on here
to a heart attack
yeah but when my breath goes
my knees ache
i can be sure that there's rain coming
i like it that way
i like it that way
i like it that way
i like it that way

yeah but i'm a story teller
i'm the worst kind
i'm the kind that will make you believE in love
yeah, i'm the kind who sits back patiently
just waiting for the kill
you know that'm the girl in the corner
and i'm holding your eyes still
but i like it that way
i like it that way
i like it that way
i like it that way
i like it that way

yeah but it's my cross to bear
and my cross to carry
so i'm going to leave it there
baby at the bottom of the stairs
and i'm going to get it later
when it's more convenient
and when i'm a little less conceited
and i've got time share
oh when i've got time to share
but i like it that way ye-ah
i like it that way ye-ah..

so who knows
if it'll work this time
but you said you were willing
to give me a try
and i like that way
i like it that way.....
