If That's the Way You Want It

You can stab my back, you can steal my flag But it's alright Little sticks and stones, break my brittle bones But I'm alright Every single day is a little step closer to my new heaven If that's the way you want it That's the way you'll get it If that's what you're thinking Don't think, you won't regret it If that's the way you see it Just reach out and touch it But you better beware, it don't burn your hands So step back and step back Don't cry, don't cry I am strong enough, I'm made of serious stuff Yes, I'm alright You can sling your mud, yeah, even draw a little blood But I'm still alive Every single word, you're serving up as hot air for my big balloon If that's the way you want it That's the way you'll get it If that's what you're thinking Don't think you won't regret it If that's the way you see it Just reach out and touch it But you better beware, it don't burn your hands So step back and step back Don't cry, don't cry So you bought your new dream But you're payin' with your dignity so dearly Don't cry, don't cry
