Don't you think I wanna look in your eyes? And feel suspicion slip away When you say you got nothin' to hide Ooh, that ain't the way I heard it Ooh, that ain't the way I heard it Throw me out a lifeline baby Offer me a grain of truth Treat me with a little bit of dignity I think I deserve that much from you Gimme one reason for stayin' cool Tell me they're no good liars Don't make me play your pathetic fool Baby, show me that old desire ♪ After you came in late last night You said you'd been alone Just needed some room to clear your mind A little time away from home Told me you were down on Highway 9 Down by the river bend But this town has ears and this town has eyes And a whole lot of so-called friends Ooh, that ain't the way I heard it Ooh, that ain't the way I heard it That ain't the way I heard it That ain't the way I heard it That ain't the way I heard it
