That's The Way She Loves
Aaron Neville Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

With her mind far away from mine
She's mostly sincere most of the time
Yeah
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves [Repeats]

With her strong desire to please
Oppression to her, is like a disease
Yeah
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves [Repeats]

Many times when she's alone
She dreams and dreams and dreams
Dreaming of a perfect love
That never was, and would never be

With her heart placed in her hand
She will go to the end and back if she can for me
That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves [Repeats]

That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves [Repeats]





That's the way she loves, that's the way she loves, that's the way she loves
That's the way she loves [Repeats]
