Not The Way It’s Gonna Be – lyrics

Talking to you tonight it hit me
What I should have known all along
I thought that you might have grown to love me
But now I see that I got it wrong

Oh I wish that it was true
That I was meant to be with you
But now it’s obvious to me
That’s not the way it’s gonna be

All of this time I’ve been so blind
It was all only in my mind
I thought you might be meant for me
But now it’s plain that’s not to be

Oh I wish that it was true
That I was meant to be with you
But now it’s obvious to me
That’s not the way it’s gonna be

Baby, baby don’t you want me
But hold me tightly in my dreams
Baby, baby, lie to me
Tell me sweet nothings in my ear

Now I see that you don’t want me
Now I know that you don’t care
I thought we might be good together
But for you there’s nothing there

Oh I wish that it was true
That I was meant to be with you
But now it’s obvious to me
That’s not the way it’s gonna be
