We've come to the end of our road,
Somebody's gonna' be goin' (I've got to be goin'),
We've been tried just as hard as we can
But emptiness is finally showing,
If we let it go another day,
There'll be only bitter words to say.
And so we've worked out fine,
We've laid it on the line,
You're still a friend of mine.
If that's the way that you want it,
Oh baby,
You got it.
If that's the way that you see it,
Oh darlin',
So be it.
I'll never give you a reason,
To show me to the back door.
If that's the way that you want,
Well I've been there before.
Well I've taken a last look around,
And there's nothing I hope I'm forgetting (I've got to be goin'),
If you happen to find my guitar,
Then I'll let you know just where I'm headed.
There's a little bit of you inside,
I'll be taking along for the ride.
I guess I feel the same,
Nobody is to blame,
I'll go the way I came.
If that's the way that you want it (You want it),
Oh baby (Oh baby),
You got it (You got it, you got it, you got it).
If that's the way that you see it (Oh see it),
Oh darlin' (Oh darlin'),
So be it (So be it).
I'll never give you a reason,
To show me to the back door.
If that's the way that you want,
Well I've been there before.
It's pretty clear,
That I've been hanging on too long,
And when I've ever been like this,
I've moved along.
I won't stand in the way,
I've worn my welcome out.
I've been right here,
So many times,
I know what I'm talking about.
If that's the way that you want it (You want it),
Oh baby (Oh baby),
You got it (You got it, you got it, you got it).
If that's the way that you see it (Oh see it),
Oh darlin' (Oh darlin'),
So be it (So be it).
I'll never give you a reason,
To show me to the back door.
If that's the way that you want,
Well I've been there before.
