Brighter Ways

I can tell by the way you look down on me baby I can tell that you'd want me to stay 'Though I hadn't the slightest clue Of what it takes to care for you On your brightest days Now I wish there were brighter ways We had laughed at all costs For joy looked better commanded But halfway there I got lost And yet you demanded I'd love you once more Who's to say, what laughter is for We have followed the way Yet only when roads were descending You asked me if I should stay No, you were demanding I'd love you once more Who's to say, what freedom is for Now I don't speak more or less For every word said, is one to many If you'll ask, I'll undress It won't cost a penny Just a knock on the door Who's to say, what a woman is for I can tell by the way you look down on me baby I can tell that you'd want me to stay 'Though I hadn't the slightest clue Of what it takes to care for you On your brightest days Now I wish there were brighter ways 'Though I hadn't the slightest clue Of all that leaves along with you I regret the pace Still, I wish there were brighter ways Oh, I wish there were brighter ways How I wish there were brighter ways
