[Verse 1]
If you get anything out of life
You got to put up with the toils and strife
Ooh, well just pushed our love a little bit too far
We forgot to remember how blessed we were, now
And the girl over there telling me what she sees
You don't have to worry, baby
She ain't going to get next to me
Yes, she don't mean a thing at all
And I thought it over, yes I did
[Chorus]
That's the way that I feel about you, baby
That's the way that I feel about you, baby
That's the way that I feel about you, baby
That's the way that I feel about you, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
I know you've been hurt just like many others too
But that's the sacrifice that life is gonna put us all through
Trust in me, I'll trust in you and have no fear
Sometimes, I look at you, baby and wonder if God sent you here
And I thought it over, yes I did, well, well, well, well
[Chorus]
That's the way that I feel about you, baby
And I hope you don't mind if I get weak and cry for you sometimes
That's the way that I feel about you, baby
That's the way that I feel about you, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Please, please, please, babe, if you hear my love knocking at your door
Open up, boy, because the world ain't giving up much out here no more
I know you've been hurt, so have many others too
All we gotta do is look back over the years, shine through
Shine through the light and put us all through, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Ah, that's the way that I feel about you, baby
That's the way that I feel about you in my heart for you, baby
Yeah, yeah, that's the way, that's the way, that's the way
Ah, that's the way I feel about you, baby
[Bridge]
I get a little weak now and I cry sometimes, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't mind, I don't mind
I love you baby, love you baby, love you baby, love you baby, yeah
[Outro]
That's the way I feel, let me just talk about it a little while
You'll see right now, that's the way that I, that's the way that I
That's the way that I, that's the way that I, that's the way
Yeah, that's the way, that's the way, that is the way, oh
I feel about you, baby
That's the way that I, that's the way I
That's the way that I, that's the way I, oh
That's the way that I, I feel about you, baby, ooh, baby
Think about you all the time and I'm so glad
I'm so glad, I'm so glad, I'm so glad, so glad, I'm so glad
So glad to know you're my love now, baby
Stay my baby, say you gonna do that for me, sure
Say you gonna do that for me now that I have been alone
Let me know that that's the way
Let me know that that's the way
That you'd be, that you'd be always true
The way I feel...
If you get anything out of life
You got to put up with the toils and strife
Ooh, well just pushed our love a little bit too far

Yes, she don't mean a thing at all
