Ain't The Way

Ain’t the way she wears her dress
Ain’t the dress she’s wearing
Ain’t the way she fills a room
With one foot in the door
Ain’t the way she brushes back the hair
From her eyes each time she laughs
Ain’t the way she’s laughing
There ain’t nothing I can do without

Ain’t the cigarettes she smokes
Ain’t the way she smokes them
Ain’t the way she taps her foot
And uncrosses her legs
Ain’t the way she breathes so soft
And tosses in the sheets each time she sleeps
And I know it ain’t the way she’s sleeping
There ain’t nothing I can do without

Trouble’s past and trouble’s near
I’ve walked away and wished it gone
Something about when you are near
Makes it easier to get along

Ain’t the way her voice gets low
Ain’t the words she’s saying
Ain’t the way she rubs her cheek
And covers up her eyes
Ain’t the way she leaves the door
Cracked open just in case each time she leaves
And I know it ain’t the way she’s leaving
There is something I can do without

Ain’t the way she wears her dress
Ain’t the dress she’s wearing
Ain’t the way she fills a room
With one foot out the door
