His album C About Me was originally independently released on Ultrax Records, yet once If You Were Mine began taking off at radio, he signed a new deal with TVT Records with plans to retool the album. The album was eventually re-released on October 25, 2005 with a different album cover (a more photogenic, pop-looking shot), along with a couple of newly-recorded tracks ("Get Personal", "Lovely Girl", "Bitter Sweet", "The Way I Do" and "Call Me"). Since new tracks were added, a couple of songs on the original version of his debut album were omitted: ("Breaking All The Rules", "That Thing You Do", "So Sexy", "Come On Over Baby", "Summertime 4Play", "Matta No Mo" and "Mission For A Dream").
Following the success of If You Were Mine, TVT had planned to release "If I'd Known" (featuring NB Ridaz), which was sent to radio. However, the track failed to take off and The Way I Do became Marcos' official second single. Promotional CDs were sent out, and the song went for adds to radio. Once again, no success at radio (and no video was shot) but the album's promotion didn't stop there. However, the single was another #1 hit in South Africa.
In June 2006 he travelled to South Africa and was interviewed on East Coast Radio and a third single, "Call Me" was released to radio in July 2006. Meanwhile, a video for "Bitter Sweet" was allegedly shot during his stay in South Africa.
Hernandez released his new international album entitled "Endless Nights" on July 24, 2007
The Way I Do
Marcos Hernandez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Ah yeah)
Your kiss,
Your smile,
Your mind, your sunlight in my eyes.
I miss,
Your breath,
Didn't wanna want you,
Didn't wanna need you so bad,
Didn't wanna wake up
And find I was falling so fast.
Didn't wanna need you,
Didn't wanna need anyone,
Now look what you've done,
[Chorus]
Now I can't go on without you,
I'm naked,
I can't fake it,
I'm not that strong without you
Never thought I could love you,
The way I do
The way I do
Your touch,
Your skin,
Can't believe the way you let me in.
Don't rush,
Tonight,
I need you, like the ocean needs the tide.
Didn't wanna want you
Didn't wanna need you so bad
Didn't wanna wake up
And find I was falling so fast.
Didn't wanna need you
Didn't wanna need anyone
Now look what you've done
[Chorus]
I always thought I would stand on my own
Climb a mountain top all alone
Relying,
Depending,
On no one
Now look what you've done
[Chorus]
Never thought I could love you
(Never thought I could love you)
Never thought I could need you
(Need you)
Never thought I could want you
(Baby)
The way I do
Never thought I could love you
Never thought I could need you
Never thought I could want you
The way I do
I love you
I need you
I want you
The way I do
I love you
I need you
I want you
The way I do
