IT'S NOT THE WAY (Summer/Omartian, 1984)

We used to live in south of paradise
That was O.K.
Till you put your heart on ice
Walked out the door
But you couldn't say goodbye

Hid away and left me lonely
When I asked you why
You couldn't be precise
Now it's my turn, so take my advice

It's not the way that you love me
It's not the way that you care

Running down long back alleys
Pouting like a spoiled child
You've been acting so crazy, driving me wild

Your heart is like an elevator
You tell me that's just human nature
I've done all I can
I can't seem to change you

It's not the way that you love me
It's not the way that you care

Oh, no, it's not the way
No, no, no, it's not the way
Listen, mister, to what I say
Oh, no, no, it's not the way

Your love is like a nasty habit
When I finally got control, I just can't take it
I tried to be cool but I just can't make it

Your heart is like an elevator
You tell me that it's just human nature
I've done all I can, I can't seem to change you


Oh, no, it's not the way 
No, no, no, it's not the way 
Listen, mister, to what I say
Oh, no, no, it's not the way

Oh, no, it's not the way 
No, no, no, it's not the way 
Listen, mister, to what I say
Oh, no, no, it's not the way

Love is tough, love is tender
It can make your heart surrender
Love is sweet, love is kind
Love will always blow your mind

It's not the way that you love me
It's not the way that you care

Oh, no, it's not the way 
No, no, no, it's not the way 
Listen, mister, to what I say
Oh, no, no, it's not the way

Oh, no, no es la manera
No, no, no, no es la manera
Escucha, señor, lo que digo
Oh, no, no, it's not the way...

 

SPANISH TRANSLATION:


NO ES LA MANERA (Summer/Omartian, 1984)

Solíamos vivir al sur del paraíso
Eso estaba bien
Hasta que pusiste tu corazón en hielo
Te marchaste por la puerta
Pero no pudiste decir adiós

Te escondiste y me dejaste sola
Cuando te pregunté el porqué
No pudiste ser preciso
Ahora es mi turno, así que acepta mi consejo

No es manera de amarme
No es manera de cuidarme

Recorriendo largos callejones
Haciendo pucheros como un niño malcriado
Has estado volviéndome loca, poniéndome furiosa

Tu corazón es como un ascensor
Me dices que eso sólo es la naturaleza humana
He hecho todo lo que puedo
Parece que no puedo cambiarte

No es manera de amarme
No es manera de cuidarme

Oh, no, no es la manera
No, no, no, no es la manera
Escucha, señor, lo que digo
Oh, no, no, no es la manera

Tu amor es como un hábito desagradable
Cuando por fin lo controlo, no puedo soportarlo
He intentado calmarme pero no puedo conseguirlo

Tu corazón es como un ascensor
Me dices que eso sólo es la naturaleza humana
He hecho todo lo que puedo, parece que no puedo cambiarte

Oh, no, no es la manera
No, no, no, no es la manera
Escucha, señor, lo que digo
Oh, no, no, no es la manera

Oh, no, no es la manera
No, no, no, no es la manera
Escucha, señor, lo que digo
Oh, no, no, no es la manera

El amor es duro, el amor es tierno
Puede hacer que tu corazón se rinda
El amor es dulce, el amor es bueno
El amor siempre te hará flipar

No es manera de amarme
No es manera de cuidarme

Oh, no, no es la manera
No, no, no, no es la manera
Escucha, señor, lo que digo
Oh, no, no, no es la manera

Oh, no, no es la manera
No, no, no, no es la manera
Escucha, señor, lo que digo
Oh, no, no, no es la manera...
