There you are lonely as can be
Still you keep resisting me
Won't you please try to see it my way
Just for once try to see it my way
I want the best for you.

Tell me how I can make you see that I understand
Let me lend a helping hand
Won't you please try to see it my way
Just for once try to see it my way
And I will see you through.

Don't you know the most important thing
that someone can be taught
Is that living is learning to share
It soon may be too late for us
So don't turn away from those who show they care.

Come on and take my hand, let me lead the way
I won't let you go astray
Won't you please try to see it my way
I'm so sure if you see it my way
It's gonna be so fine
So wonderful and fine
Now while there still is time
Try to see it my way.

[Alt:]
There you go, heading for a fall
- Must you be a know-it-all
Don't you know you can't go wrong if you do it my way
- Angie, please let me do it my way, I know what's right for me.

Can't you see that you'll soon be back on your lonely shelf
- Won't you let me be myself
Everything will turn out right if you do it my way
- Angie, please let me do it my way, That's how it has to be.

Don't you know it doesn't make you one iota less a man
To accept what a woman can give
- I know you've done a lot for me, But playin' it safe
That's not the way to live.

Come on and take my hand, let me see you through
- I know now what I must do
I'm afraid that you'll get hurt if you do it your way
-I'm so sure if I do it my way it's gonna be so fine
So wonderful and fine
Now while there still is time
Try to see it my way...
