You bust on through the door and walk onto my floor ('Cuz that's the way it is)

Why won't you try to listen? Why can't you break that wall? (Are you too blind to see?)

There's something goin' on, there's something going wrong (Are you too blind to see?)

It's just some inner feeling, you're coming on too strong (Yeah, that's the way it is)

When you walk into my home and terrorize my soul

You treat me like I'm nothing, some nothing you've never known

Then kick around my feelings and kick around my heart

And beat-up on my feelings, every time you come home, every time you come home

That's the way it's been

That's the way it's been

Have you no compassion? No tenderness at all? (Is that the way it is?)

Why won't you try to listen? Why can't you break that wall? (Got you blinded in)

Is it a wise solution? Is it too wise for you? (Is it so hard to do?)

Or am I feeding a fire that's stinging inside of you?!? (That you try to extinguish when)

When you walk into my home and terrorize my soul

You treat me like I'm nothing, some nothing you've never known

Then kick around my feelings and kick again my heart

And beat-up on my feelings, every time you come home, every time you come home

What's happened to the days your loving smile was mine alone?

What's happened to your ways, communication's gone

Does it have to be this way every time you come on home (No!!!)

Doesn't have to be this way every time you come home

Every time you come home (every time you come home)

Every time you come home (every time you come home)

Have you no compassion? (every time you come home)

Have you no compassion? (every time you come home)

No tenderness at all (every time you come home)

Don't tenderize my soul (every time you come home)

Every time you come home (every time you come home)

Every time you come home

It doesn't have to be this way babe, every time you come home
