Lyrics
Any Old Way
Words & Music by Dave Garner

Verse
I can feel you shakin', but don't be afraid
I know it's hard for you, and that's okay
I think you want to, but you're afraid to say
So tell me you love me just any old way
I'm not in a hurry, we've got plenty of time
I ain't goin' nowhere with this heart of mine
So take all your words and throw them away
And tell me you love me (just) any old way
Chorus
You can tell me you want me, and I'll be okay
Just tell me the nights are longer when I'm away
Tell me you miss me, and you want me to stay
And if you love me . . .
Say you're thinkin' of me . . .
And tell me you love me . . . any old way
Verse
I'm not askin' for the stars (up) above
But I just got to know . . . if this is love
If what I'm askin' is too much (hard) to say
Then tell me you love me (just) any old way
CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL
You can take all your words and just throw them away
And tell me you love me (just) any old way
CHORUS
