The Way You Do
Frida Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How does it apply to you
Maybe I could learn to live without it
Where do you find
One of a kind
Playing for time
The way you do
Do you remember when
You said we'd never be without it
Where do you find
One of a kind
Playing for time
The way you do
Maybe I'll find love
The way you do
Maybe I'll find love
The way you do
Playing for time love
The way you do
The way you do
The way you do
Everybody says I'm mad to doubt it
And I believe it's true
Maybe I should learn to live without it
But, where do you find
One of a kind
Playing for time
The way you do
Maybe I'll find love
The way you do
Maybe I'll find love
The way you do
Or maybe goodbye love
The way you do
The way you do
The way you do
In Frida's song "The Way You Do," she seems to be expressing her confusion and uncertainty about love. She acknowledges that "every little thing's been said about it" and questions how it applies to her personally. She considers the possibility of learning to live without love, but also recognizes the uniqueness and value of finding a special connection with someone ("one of a kind"). Throughout the song, she refers to "playing for time," which could suggest a fear of committing fully to love or the idea of taking things slowly.
Frida also reflects on a past relationship, remembering when her partner promised that they would never be without love. However, she seems to be questioning whether the love they shared was truly special and unique or if it was just like what everyone else experiences. She acknowledges the opinions of others, who tell her she's "mad to doubt it" (meaning, doubt the existence or value of love), but ultimately she is unsure of what her own future holds in terms of love.
The chorus of the song, where Frida repeatedly sings "maybe I'll find love the way you do," shows her longing and hopefulness for a special love like the one she sees in someone else. But the final line, where she adds "or maybe goodbye love the way you do," suggests a potentially pessimistic outlook, as if to say that love may not work out for her and she may end up saying goodbye to it like her past partner did.
Overall, "The Way You Do" is a contemplative and emotional song about love, with a mix of hopefulness and uncertainty.

Every little thing's been said about it
It seems like people have talked about it from every angle possible
How does it apply to you
But how does it actually affect you personally?
Maybe I could learn to live without it
I'm considering the possibility of moving on from this
Where do you find
Where can you even find
One of a kind
something that is truly unique and one-of-a-kind
Playing for time
trying to make things last as long as possible
The way you do
like you do
Every other day I think about it
It's on my mind frequently
Do you remember when
Do you recall that time when
You said we'd never been without it
You assured me that it would always be with us
Maybe I'll find love
I may be able to find love
Playing for time love
looking for a love that will last as long as possible
Or maybe goodbye love
Or perhaps my search for love will end in saying goodbye
Everybody says I'm mad to doubt it
Everyone thinks I'm crazy for even considering that it might not be as amazing as people say
And I believe it's true
But I think there might be some truth to my doubts
Maybe I should learn to live without it
Perhaps it would be better for me to move on from this
The way you do
like you do
