Any Other Way - The Posies

She dropped my hand and said, «I will go no further»

I dropped my head and hid my tears with laughter

(You know that) life’s never been a great mystery to me

It begins, then crawls slowly to the end

And I’ve no problems if you wish to join my views

Just add your name to the list of superficial friends

It (funny how these things work)

All seemed like it was too good to be true

It (funny now it’s always your fault)

Was and soon it came time to play my dues

So came the day when she had had enough

She kept home and I wasn’t asked to stay

She said, «you don’t have to blame yourself, you know»

But I wouldn’t have it any other way

I wouldn’t have it any other way

Don’t feed the hand that bites you

Just learn to starve

Don’t fight for change in your time

Just swallow your depression

And say you’re happy that it’s rotten out today

And who wouldn’t have it any other way

No, you wouldn’t have it any other way

She left me alone, claiming we’d run out of things to fight about

I was crushed of course, but at least I’ve something I can write about

I guess I’m just some kind of malcontent

Who gets paid for having nothing good to say

And even though it doesn’t pay the rent

You know I wouldn’t have it any other way

I wouldn’t have it any other way

I wouldn’t have it any other way

I wouldn’t have it any other way

I wouldn’t have it any other way
