[Verse 1]
Baby, don’t make me spell it out for you
All of the feelings that I've got for you
Can't be explained, but I can try for you
Yeah, baby, don't make me spell it out for you
You keep on asking me the same questions
And second-guessing all my intentions
Should know by the way I use my compression
That you've got the answers to my confessions

[Pre-Chorus]
It's like I'm powerful with a little bit of tender
An emotional, sexual bender
Mess me up, yeah, but no one does it better
There's nothin' better

[Chorus]
That's just the way you make me feel
That's just the way you make me feel
That's just the way you make me feel
That's just the way you make me feel

That's just the way you make me feel

[Verse 2]
You know I love it, so please don't stop it
You got me right here in your jean pocket
Laying your body on a shag carpet
You know I love it so please don't stop it

[Pre-Chorus]
It's like I'm powerful with a little bit of tender
An emotional, sexual bender
Mess me up, yeah, but no one does it better
There's nothin' better

[Chorus]
That's just the way you make me feel
That's just the way you make me feel
Oh, so good, so good, so fuckin' real
That's just the way you make me feel
That's just the way you make me feel

You make me feel
That's just the way you make me feel
That's just the way you make me feel
So good, so good, yeah

Janelle Monáe

Janelle Monáe Robinson was born December 1, 1985. The daughter of a janitor mother and a truck-driving father, she was raised in Kansas City, Kansas. Being from a hard-working family and a musically bland city, Monáe has always highlighted the under appreciated and the outsider.

After studying across the country at different performing arts schools, she met Antwan “Big Boi” Patton (of Outkast) in Atlanta, Georgia. Her career began to take shape under the guidance of Big Boi and later, Sean “P. Diddy” Combs.

Her first breakthrough EP was 2007’s Suite I (The Chase). Critical acclaim followed and was reinforced with her 2010 album, The ArchAndroid. She completed her android-themed trio of albums with her highly-anticipated follow-up, The Electric Lady, in 2013. Her latest album – Dirty Computer – was released in late April 2018 and is her most personal and artistically ambitious album yet.
