The Way I Do
Brian McKnight Feat. Mr.Cheeks & Baby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Special kinda friend, lemme clown with ya
Get to know you little better, spend some time with ya
Hit the town with ya, spend every dime with you
no matter what you want to do as long as i'm with you
get your picture painted, place it on my wall
and as long as i want I'm giving you my all
but when the night falls, we hold eachother all night
[Brian]
I can see it in your eyes, your looking at a real man
I don't wear a disguise, gonna make you understand
I know you heard a lot of lies
I won't beat around the bush
I know I'm gonna make ya mine
But I'm not gonna push
Girl I don't mean to come off
As cocky, or concieted
But I believe that you were meant
Just for me, There should be nothing
But love coming betweens us
And we will be together always, baby yeah
Baby I don't mean come on strong
But you should be with somebody
Who understands you like I do
I'll be right here
If ever you need a hand or 2
To help you get where you going to
Lemme show you the way I do
[Brian]
I would never do you wrong
Like some other fella did
It only matters where you going
Don't matter where you been
I calculated all the costs
Measured what your worth
And right after God
Girl I'm puttin you first
Girl I don't mean to come off
As cocky, or concieted
But I believe that you were meant
Just for me, There should be nothing
But love coming betweens us
And we will be together always
Baby I don't mean come on strong
But you should be with somebody
Who understands yo
The lyrics of Brian McKnight's song "The Way I Do" tell the story of a man who is interested in a woman and wants to show her that he is different from other men she has met. At the beginning of the song, Mr. Cheeks raps about wanting to spend time with this woman, no matter what she wants to do. He wants a deeper connection with her and would go as far as putting up her picture on his wall. Later, Brian McKnight chimes in with the chorus, where he promises the woman that he will treat her right and be there for her when she needs him.
The verses sung by Brian are a reflection of his sincerity and transparency with this woman. He tells her that he is not going to beat around the bush or come on too strong, but he believes that she was meant just for him. He promises to be the person who understands her like nobody else and to always be there to help her get where she needs to go. He even puts her above everything else in his life, right after God.
