Rafferty, Gerry - The Way That You Do It Lyrics






You got a way of telling me I'm wrong
You got a way of coming on so strong
I can take it from you, yeah you know I always do
Cause you got a way that you do it
It's the way that you do it
The way that you do it just got to be right.

You got a way of leaving me no doubt
You got a way of telling me what I'm about
I couldn't take it from anyone else, yeah I really surprised myself
Cause you got a way that you do it
It's the way that you do it
The 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 feel
You got a way of letting me know what's real
I don't get it from anyone else, though I try to fool myself
Cause you got a way that you do it
It's the way that you do it
The 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 wrong
You got a way of coming on so strong
I can take it from you, yeah you know I always do
Cause you got a way that you do it
It's the way that you do it
The 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.

    Saw gerry live and saw his tribute concert,this is my top 3 favourite gerry tracks.

  13. A.... ....

    beautiful...

  14. j.... ....

    One of the best songs of Gerry Rafferty's career. Although not nearly as big as Baker Street and some of the others.. "The way that you do it" is one of Gerry's best. Gerry Rafferty was a musical genius. A singer, songwriter, composer, and musical artist, there were few like him nor had the talent that he had.

  15. J.... R....

    this is all about my special lady who died last year -she was the best, the one you wait a lifetime for and can't believe it when it happens. GR says it all for me. She is still here in France with me and will live on in this wonderful music. Thanks Gerry.
