That Ain't the Way I Heard It
After you came in late last night
You said you'd been alone
Just needed some room to clear your mind
A little time away from home
Told me you were down on Highway 9
Down by the river bend
But this town has ears and this town has eyes
And a whole lot of so-called friends
Ooh, that ain't the way I heard it
Ooh, that ain't the way I heard it
Don't you think I wanna trust every word you say?
Don't you think I wanna look in your eyes?
And feel suspicion slip away
When you say you got nothin' to hide
Ooh, that ain't the way I heard it
Ooh, that ain't the way I heard it
Throw me out a lifeline baby
Offer me a grain of truth
Treat me with a little bit of dignity
I think I deserve that much from you
Gimme one reason for stayin' cool
Tell me they're no good liars
Don't make me play your pathetic fool
Baby, show me that old desire
After you came in late last night
You said you'd been alone
Just needed some room to clear your mind
A little time away from home
Told me you were down on Highway 9
Down by the river bend
But this town has ears and this town has eyes
And a whole lot of so-called friends
Ooh, that ain't the way I heard it
Ooh, that ain't the way I heard it
That ain't the way I heard it
That ain't the way I heard it
That ain't the way I heard it
You said you'd been alone
Just needed some room to clear your mind
A little time away from home
Told me you were down on Highway 9
Down by the river bend
But this town has ears and this town has eyes
And a whole lot of so-called friends
Ooh, that ain't the way I heard it
Ooh, that ain't the way I heard it
Don't you think I wanna trust every word you say?
Don't you think I wanna look in your eyes?
And feel suspicion slip away
When you say you got nothin' to hide
Ooh, that ain't the way I heard it
Ooh, that ain't the way I heard it
Throw me out a lifeline baby
Offer me a grain of truth
Treat me with a little bit of dignity
I think I deserve that much from you
Gimme one reason for stayin' cool
Tell me they're no good liars
Don't make me play your pathetic fool
Baby, show me that old desire
After you came in late last night
You said you'd been alone
Just needed some room to clear your mind
A little time away from home
Told me you were down on Highway 9
Down by the river bend
But this town has ears and this town has eyes
And a whole lot of so-called friends
Ooh, that ain't the way I heard it
Ooh, that ain't the way I heard it
That ain't the way I heard it
That ain't the way I heard it
That ain't the way I heard it
