Just The Way We Did It
Chely Wright Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We don't ever stay mad for long
And I guess I've always liked that 'bout us
We usually end up on the floor laughin'
Makin' fun of whatever it was

Passions run high and it might seem like sometimes
We don't get along
Baby that's just the way we do it
Fight a little fight but we get through it
When you're lovin' like this you hold on to it
Baby that's just the way we do it

If we hold back on what we're feelin'
We run the danger of growin' apart
Everybody knows that's how love goes
From good to bad in the beat of a heart

As long as we talkin', nobody's walkin' out
Right or wrong

Baby that's just the way we do it
Fight a little fight but we get through it
When you're lovin' like this you hold on to it
Baby that's just the way we do it

Baby that's just the way we do it
Fight a little fight but we get through it
When you lovin' like this you hold on to it
Baby that's just the way
Baby that's just the way we do it

Baby that's just the way we do it
Fight a little fight but we get through it
When you're lovin' like this you hold on to it
Baby that's just the way we do it

Baby we know what we're fighting for
Ain't nobody walking out that door

Baby that's just the way we do it
Fight a little fight but we get through it




When you're lovin' like this you hold on to it
Baby that's just the way we do it

I was serving in the US army from 01-05, stationed in South Korea in the dead of winter, -15 outside. This woman, Chely Wright was on a USO tour. She spent 9 hours outside signing autographs and giving every single soldier a hug. A truly beautiful woman inside and out

Just watched the documentary "Wish Me Away"....I've never been a big CW person...but Chely has a new fan now...not only because she is an amazing singer and songwriter but also because of her courage and strength and the goodness in her heart that is so obvious in the film. Congratulations Chely ...so happy you are living an authentic life. God bless you.

It's about the music. She does country the way it is supposed to be done. Now she is doing the American music, she has a terrific voice and has always shown great passion in her work.
