The Many Ways

[Intro]

Oh baby, my lady

You like what you're hearing, baby?

What's going on?

I've seen you around my way a couple times

You must have just moved around the way, right?

I see all the fellows have been pressing you for your number

I'd like to get to know you, so um

Maybe we can spend some time and just talk on the phone or something

[Chorus]

I can think of many ways to say "I love you"

And with those many ways, there comes a time

For me to say I'll put no girl before you

So pretty lady, make up your mind

[Verse 1]

Girl, you look surprised, I've got conversation

'Cause you ain't checking for the kids I swing with, no

Girl, can't we please get past impressions?

'Cause what I feel for you, I swear is legit

Your girls tell you watch him, he's an entertainer

They say I'll hurt you and break your heart

They don't know, well, well, just what I'm feeling

From the first time I saw you, I loved you from the very start

[Chorus]

I can think of many ways to say "I love you"

And with those many ways, there comes a time

For me to say I'll put no girl before you

So pretty lady, make up your mind

[Verse 2]

I saw you 'round my way and I had to meet you

But I've got to let you know I'm just somebody

Who wants to care for you with lots of love and patience

So please understand why I'm taking my time

I'm falling deeper and deeper and deeper, yeah, baby

And I'm so glad we had this conversation

Because girl, when it comes to you, there's no confusion

And I can't get it in your head and I'm having a fit

[Chorus]

I can think of many ways to say "I love you"

And with those many ways, there comes a time

For me to say I'll put no girl before you

So pretty lady, make up your mind

[Bridge 1]

Young lady (Young lady)

I miss you in my life

I'm on a mission just to please you right

Sweet lady (Sweet, sweet lady)

The thought of no you cuts just like a knife

Cuts like a knife

[Bridge 2]

Girl, I've learned my lesson

No, we can't let others in

Misery loves some company

They don't see it's from within

It's you for me and me for you

But first we must be friends

I'll keep my love coming and coming and coming

Girl, we can win

[Chorus]

I can think of many ways to say "I love you"

And with those many ways, there comes a time

For me to say I'll put no girl before you

So pretty lady, make up your mind

[Outro]

Girl, I've learned my lesson

No, we can't let others in

Misery loves some company

They don't see it's from within

It's you for me and me for you

But first we must be friends

I'll keep my love coming and coming and coming

Girl, we can win

Girl, I've learned my lesson

No, we can't let others in

Misery loves some company

They don't see it's from within

It's you for me and me for you
