It's hard for a back street affair to be easy
For each hour of happiness there's two hours of pain
We meet in the shadows because all that matters
Spending the night with you once again.
You leave with a promise you'll call me tomorrow
But I never know when the next time will be
And each time you leave me I can't help but wonder
For tonight the last night for me-- for me
(Chorus)
Any which way you can
Just love me any which way you can
My loves not the choking kind
You've got your life and I've got mine
So if you can ever be free
Darling I'll understand
But when you're laying next to me
Just love me any which way you can
Now you're on your way home
And I'm all alone
I'm feeling as empty as this double bed
It's so hard to be strong
When I know I belong in -your arms- but I'm lying here lonely instead
(Chorus)
