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

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 loves not the choking kind

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

So if you can never be free

Oh 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

And feeling  as empty as this double bed

It’s hard to be strong when I belong in your arms

Lying here lonely and scared

Any which way you can

Just love me any which way you can

My loves not the choking kind

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

So if you can never be free

Oh 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
