Gerry Rafferty Lyrics

"The Way That You Do It" lyrics


You got a way of telling me I'm wrongYou got a way of coming on so strongI can take it from you, yeah you know I always doCause you got a way that you do itIt's the way that you do itThe way that you do it just got to be right.
You got a way of leaving me no doubtYou got a way of telling me what I'm aboutI couldn't take it from anyone else, yeah I really surprised myselfCause you got a way that you do itIt's the way that you do itThe way that you do it just got to be right.
You help me (you help me when I feel alone)You help me (you help me when I'm down and I'm stuck on my own)You wake me up to all the little things that I don't see.
You help me (you help me, help me, help me out)You help me (you help me see myself and what I'm all about)You give me reason to believe that everything that can be.
You got a way of knowing just how I feelYou got a way of letting me know what's realI don't get it from anyone else, though I try to fool myselfCause you got a way that you do itIt's the way that you do itThe way that you do it just got to be right.
You help me (you help me when I feel alone)You help me (you help me when I'm down and I'm stuck on my own)You wake me up to all the little things that I don't see.
You help me (you help me, help me, help me out) You help me (you help me see myself and what I'm all about)You give me reason to believe that everything that can be.
You got a way of telling me I'm wrongYou got a way of coming on so strongI can take it from you, yeah you know I always doCause you got a way that you do itIt's the way that you do itThe way that you do it just got to be right.
The way that you do it just got to be right.The way that you do it just got to be right.
