[Verse 1]
Walking down the sidewalk
Is that the way that you wanna be seen?
Face that won't forget you
Photographic memory

Impression that you're drawn to
Make it good, make it last
Waiting for this moment for so long
Ready for the dance

[Chorus]
Is that the way that you want to be loved?
Is that the way that you want to be loved?
Is that the way that you want to be loved?
Is that the way that you want to be loved?

[Verse 2]
Ready with your story
Funny guy cartoon
Always saying sorry
Hold on, there's something you're gonna lose

The man who turns the lights on
The lover who never has to choose
The girl he set his sights on
Lacing up her shoes

[Chorus]
Is that the way that you want to be loved?
Is that the way that you want to be loved?
Is that the way that you want to be loved?
Is that the way that you want to be loved?

[Bridge]
Is that the way that you are?
I can picture you staring
Out the window, not caring
The nights go by
Oh, the nights go by
Is that the way that you are?
I can picture you staring
Out the window, not caring
The nights go by
Oh, the nights go by

[Chorus]
Is that the way that you want to be loved?
Is that the way that you want to be loved?
Is that the way that you want to be loved?
Is that the way that you want to be loved?

[Outro]
Is that the way that you want to be loved?
I can picture you staring
Out the window, not caring
The nights go by
Oh, the nights go by

Is that the way that you are?
Wear your hair down alone
Tie it up when he's there
And tell me that nothing's wrong
