Do You Want It That Way (11-12-60) - Dinah Washington

When I looked around I felt so low down

To find you in someone else’s arms

Well, what could I do or what could I say?

But do you really want it that way?

If being untrue meant that much to you

I’m certain our love has lost its charm

Oh, how could you be unfair to me?

Do you really want it that way?

My love was so blind, my heart lost its smile

How hopeless it all seem to be

You nearly destroyed the love we enjoyed

Why should this happen to me?

If you only knew what I meant to you

My skies would never be so gray

Why must I say, «We've had a lovely day»

Do you really want it that way?
