Any Which Way You Can

It's hard for a backstreet affair to be easy

For each hour of happiness, there's two hours of pain

We meet in the shadows because all that matters

Is 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

Was tonight the last night for you and for me?

Any which way you can

Just love me any which way you can

My love's not the chokin' kind

You've got your life and I've got mine

So if you can ever be free

Well, darling, I'll understand

But when you're lying 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 feelin' as empty

As this double bed

It's so hard to be strong

When I know I belong in your arms

But I'm lyin' here lonely instead

Any which way you can

Just love me any which way you can

My love's not the chokin' kind

You've got your life and I've got mine

If you can ever be free

Well, darling, I'll understand

But when you're lying next to me

Just love me any which way you can

Any which way you can
