From the recording Rising Tide
Lyrics
That Way
I never asked for affection
Never asked for her touch
I would have asked for something other
But was that asking too much?
I never wanted second glances
Never wanted to stay
(chorus)
I never knew what I wanted
till she held me till she kissed me
that way
I never asked for devotion
Never asked for tenderness
I never asked for the passion
But was I asking for less?
I never wanted the fire
You know I won’t hesitate
(repeat chorus) x 2
I wasn’t looking to charm her
I wasn’t aiming to please
I wasn’t looking for that pretty thing
called love
I guess that pretty thing
came looking for me
I never asked for affection
Never asked for her touch
I would have asked for something other
But that was asking too much
I never wanted second glances
Never wanted to stay
(repeat chorus) x 2
