Wells' success in the 1950s and 1960s was so enormous that she still ranks as the sixth most successful female vocalist in the history of the Billboard country charts according to historian Joel Whitburn's book "The Top 40 Country Hits", behind Dolly Parton, Loretta Lynn, Reba McEntire, Tammy Wynette, and Tanya Tucker. Wells was the third country music artist, behind Roy Acuff and Hank Williams, to receive the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1991 as well as being the seventh woman and first Caucasian woman to receive the honor. In 1976, she was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Three Ways
Kitty Wells Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Three ways, three ways to love you, it's true
One is the wrong way, one is the right way
But the best is the way I love you
One is the wrong way, like some people do
They're kissin', they're lyin', they'll never be true
But soon they will wonder why love flies away
There are three ways
Three ways, three ways to love you, it's true
One is the wrong way, one is the right way
But the best is the way I love you
One is the right way, so some people say with
Dining and dancing in some cabaret
Now some girls may think this is really ideal
But too late they'll find out that love isn't real
There are three ways
Three ways, three ways to love you, it's true
One is the wrong way, one is the right way
But the best is the way I love you
One is the best way, the way I love you
With all of my heart and for all my life through
I think of you only forget all the rest
I'll show you my darling that my way's the best
There are three ways
Three ways, three ways to love you, it's true
One is the wrong way, one is the right way
But the best is the way I love you
Kitty Wells's song "Three Ways" is a ballad that talks about the different ways of loving someone. The song is divided into three stanzas, and each one describes a distinct way of loving. The first way is the wrong way, which involves being dishonest and insincere. The singer describes this way as involving kissing and lying, and suggests that it leads to heartbreak and misery in the long run. The second way is the right way, which involves wining and dining in a fancy cabaret. However, the singer warns that this way isn't sustainable and will eventually lead to disappointment.
The final way is the best way, which is the way the singer loves. This way involves loving with all of one's heart and for all of one's life. The singer suggests this way is the most sincere and is the way that leads to true happiness. Throughout the song, the singer emphasizes that there are three distinct ways to love, and that while some may be alluring, the best way is to love honestly and wholeheartedly.
Line by Line Meaning
There are three ways
There are three methods to express my love
Three ways, three ways to love you, it's true
I can show my affection in three different approaches
One is the wrong way, like some people do
Some people demonstrate their love in an invalid way such as kissing or lying
They're kissin', they're lyin', they'll never be true
People who show their love through kisses and lies will not have a real connection
But soon they will wonder why love flies away
They will regret when their relationships start falling apart
And though how they'll cry, when they'll find out some day
They will have a painful realization about the failure of their false expression of love
One is the right way, so some people say with
Some people might consider dining and dancing in a cabaret to be a proper way to show love
Now some girls may think this is really ideal
Some women might imagine that cabaret dating is a perfect way to show love
But too late they'll find out that love isn't real
It will be too late for them to know the truth that love is not genuine in this manner
One is the best way, the way I love you
The best and most accurate method to show love is the one which I prefer
With all of my heart and for all my life through
I'll devote my whole life to loving you deeply and sincerely
I think of you only forget all the rest
I'll consider only you and disregard everything else
I'll show you my darling that my way's the best
I'll prove to you that my approach to love is the most genuine and profound
But the best is the way I love you
The most accurate and profound way to show my love is to love you in my way

It irks me when they call that McEntire woman the queen and also Carrie what’s her name. Miss Kitty is the only undisputed Queen. No one will EVER dethrone her!
