My Way
The Bennys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've got friends that I know are really mine
I've got money just enough to see me through
But the only thing I really want is you
If I could have my way, I would love you
Like nobody's loved you, if I could have my way
I would love you like nobody's loved you
Well, I've got theories to think about
And I've got the answers if I need a way out
I got lovers if I'm ever in the mood
But the only thing I really want is you
If I could have my way, I would love you
Like nobody's loved you, if I could have my way
I would love you like nobody's loved you
Like nobody's loved you
