The Way

Yeah I know it's true, and girl, so do you
So why don't you do what you gotta do?
Just go on and break his heart
We both know you wanna start something new
You remember what you told me that night
That if you could ever hold me, you might
Mess around and change your whole life
Said you never felt love so right
And you know you wanna let me inside
Bet you wonder what it would be like
He don't know you the way I do
He don't touch you the way I would
He don't f*** you the way I could
He don't love you the way you should be loved, my love
The way you should be loved
You're so fine
And we should be together baby, it's time
'Cause to follow your own heart's not a crime
And you know that we both know
That you wanna let him go, and be mine
Ooh, baby
You remember what you told me that night
That if you could ever hold me you might
Mess around and change your whole life
Said you never felt love so right
And you know you wanna let me inside
Bet you wonder what it would be like
He don't know you the way I do
He don't touch you the way I would
The way I do
He don't f*** you the way I could
He don't love you the way you should be loved, my love
The way you should be loved
Baby, baby, now
La la la la la, la la la la
Let me love you the way you should be loved
Let me love you the way you should be loved
La la la la la, la la la la
Let me love you the way you should be loved
Let me love you the way you should be loved
He don't know you the way I do
He don't touch you the way I would
He don't love you
He don't f*** you the way I could
He don't love you the way you should be loved, my love
The way you should be loved
Let me love you the way you should be loved
Let me love you the way you should be loved
He don't know you the way I do
I do
He don't touch you the way I would
He don't f*** you the way I could
He don't love you the way you should be loved, my love
The way you should be loved, oh
La la la la la, la la la la
Let me love you the way you should be loved
Let me love you the way you should be loved
La la la la la, la la la la
Let me love you the way you should be loved
Let me love you the way you should be
