The Many Ways

Whoa, baby, my lady

Whoa-oh, oh, yeah

Oh

You like what you're hearin', baby?

What's goin' on?

I've seen you around my way a couple times

You must have just moved around the way, right?

I see all the fellas been pressin' you for your number

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

Maybe we can spend some time, know what I'm sayin'?

Talk on the phone or somethin'

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

Girl, you look surprised I've got conversation

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

Girl, can 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

(Your heart, your heart, but, babe)

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

From the first time I saw you

I loved you from the very start, baby

I can think of many ways to say I love you (Oh, I love you, baby)

And with those many ways, there comes a time (Time in my life)

For me to say I'll put no girl before you (No, no, no, no, no, no girl)

So, pretty lady, make up your mind (Yeah)

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

But I gotta let you know, I'm just somebody

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

(Who wants to care, oh-oh-oh, you, yeah, yeah, yeah)

So, please understand why I'm takin' my time

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

(Deeper and deeper and deeper)

And I'm so glad we had this conversation

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

(Baby, I ain't confused)

And I can't get it in your head (No) and I'm having a fit, yeah, yeah

I can think of many ways to say I love you (Lovin' you)

And with those many ways, there comes a time (It's our time)

For me to say I'll put no girl before you (No girls before you)

So, pretty lady, make up your mind

(So, pretty lady, make up your mind)

Young lady (Young lady)

I miss you in my life, yeah

I'm on a mission just to please you right

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, yeah)

Sweet lady (Sweet, sweet lady)

The thought of no you cuts just like a knife

(Thought of no you cuts just like a knife) Cuts like a knife

Girl, I've learned my lesson

No, we can't let others in

(Oh-oh) Misery loves some company

They don't see it's from within

It's you for me and me for you (Whoa, you)

But first we must be friends

(Yeah) I'll keep my love comin', more love comin'

(Comin' and comin' and comin', baby)

Girl, we can win (Oh, yeah)

I can think of many ways to say I love you (Many, many ways)

And with those many ways, there comes a time (There comes a time)

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