Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Uh

[Verse 2]

It's just the way

Uh

Uh

[Verse 3]

Uh

Uh

It's just the way I want you baby

Oh, so bad

It's just the feeling that comes over me, ooh-wee

[Verse 4]

I had a crush on you

Painstakingly I would conceal the truth

I probably always knew

But I was timid like a child

Inhibited and way too shy

I'd glance, but then avert my eyes

All twisted up in my desire

[Verse 5]

But I am not that girl today

Ain't got a lot of times for games

I've waited and I've waited now

It's time for me to tell you 'bout the way

[Verse 6]

It's just the way I want you, baby

Oh, so bad

Every night and everyday, must we hesitate

It's just the feeling that comes over me

(It's just the feeling)

I cannot alleviate, please don't make me wait

It's just the way I want you, baby (It's just the way)

Oh, so bad

Every night and everyday

[Verse 7]

Baby, I was so into you

Now I wonder why I never pursued you

You're the way I wanted to, oh, no

[Verse 8]

Kiss me and touch me and immerse

Your love in mine (I want, I want, I wanna feel your love)

I'll keep unravelin' as we explore

Our fantasies tonight

Ah, tell me what you like

Now show me what you like

(Show me)

[Verse 9]

It's just the way I want you baby

Oh, so bad

(It's just the way I want you, baby)

It's just the way

Every night, everyday

It's just the feeling that comes over me, oh

(Feeling that comes over me)

Every night and everyday

[Verse 10]

Oh, it's just the way I want you, baby

Oh, it's just the way (Just the way) baby, oh

[Verse 11]

Why, it's just the way

Why, it's just the way

Oh, it's just the way I feel 'bout you

Every night and day

Oh, it's just the way I feel about you (It's feelin' that comes over me)

Every night and day

Oh, it's just the way I feel 'bout you

Every night and day (Every night, every day)

It's just the way I want you, baby

Oh, so bad (Just the way I want you, baby)

Every night and everyday (Ooh, every night)

It's just the feeling that comes over me, oh (Just the feelin')

I can't believe, yeah, please don't make me wait

It's just the way I want you, baby

Oh, so bad (Just the way I want you, baby)

Every night and day
