Loving you
Isn't the right thing to do
How can I ever change things
That I feel?

If I could
Baby, I'd give you my world
How can I
When you won't take it from me?

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

Tell me why
Everything turned around
Packing up
Shacking up is all you want to do

If I could
Baby, I'd give you my world
Open up
Everything's waiting for you

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way

You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
Another lonely day
You can go your own way
Go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day

You can go your own way
You can call it
Another lonely day
You can go your own way

    Song Meaning

    Actually, most of you are right. It is about Lindsey and Stevie. Lindsey wrote most of his songs about Stevie. The dude was head over heels in love with her, I don't know if the same could be said about Stevie, but Lindsey wasn't exactly the most perfect boyfriend. They had a pretty bad past together. You guys might know about all the drug usage, abuse, etc.

    Lindsey used to do crazy stuff like sleep with his guitar. But needless to say, Stevie got tired of his antics and left him.

    Here is my interpretation of his lyrics:

    Loving you Isn't the right thing to do How can I ever change things That I feel (Lindsey thinks that loving Stevie was a bad thing, mixing personal and business, but he fell head over heels for her.)

    If I could Maybe I'd give you my world How can I When you won't take it from me (Realizing it's too late, he would have gave her his "world", meaning everything he had in him. But she's already made up her decision and is adamant to staying broken up)

    You can go your own way Go your own way You an call it Another lonely day You can go your own way Go your own way (They obviously had broken up in the past, hence "you can call it another lonely day", but this time she means it and the chorus, which has a much more higher tone to it expresses his desire to stay in the relationship and hope it comes clear to Stevie)

    Tell me why Everything turned around Packing up Shacking up is all you wanna do (At that time, Stevie was done with the coke, but Lindsey was still on drugs and Stevie wanted stability. Lindsey could not give her that)

    If I could Baby I'd give you my world Open up Everything's waiting for you (Again, he keeps repeating that line. Kind of like a guy being dumped. You get hurt, you repeat the same thing like "Baby, please come back")

    You can go your own way Go your own way You an call it Another lonely day You can go your own way go your own way

    (No, Stevie made up her mind and so has Lindsey)
