THE WAY I FEEL
(J. Parker)

The way I feel tonight
I'm afraid I don't know wrong from right
All I know is that it's plain to see
You are never coming back to me

The way I feel for you
I would borrow, beg or steal for you
But it doesn't matter what I vow
What's the good, it's too late now

You may believe I never loved you
Some of our friends have told you so
But why should you listen to friends dear
For who in this wide world can know

The way I feel inside
With a heart that just can't be denied
You would find a love that's deep and real
If you knew the way I feel

(The way I feel for you
I would borrow, beg or steal for you)

But it doesn't matter what I vow
What's the good, it's too late now

You may believe I never loved you
Some of our friends have told you so
But why should you listen to friends dear
For who in this wide world can know

The way I feel inside
With a heart that just can't be denied
You would find a love that's deep and real
If you knew the way I feel
If you knew the way I feel.
