the way
We Know Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well there was a girl and for quite a while it was her and I
She was my everything,
My shining star in my starry sky.
I spent all my time with my partner in rhyme,
Up until I said the words I dreaded hearing in the day.
And then you know I did what the average guy would do,
I looked into her eyes, I broke her heart.
I told her we were through, but it was my mistake,
And when I asked for a second chance,
All she did was roll her eyes and she turned and walked away.

And I said I like the way you roll your eyes at me,
And I like the way you turn and walk from me.
And I like the way you disregard what I say,
And I oh baby I like the way.

And as the days go by and I wonder how I could let go of the one thing that meant the most.
Well I'll be waiting here for you and when you come on back and call out my name,
I'll be here for you and it'll be you and I again.

And I said I like the way you roll your eyes at me,
And I like the way you turn and walk from me.
And I like the way you disregard what I say,
And I oh baby I like the way.

And I said I like the way you roll your eyes at me,
And I like the way you turn and walk from me.
And I like the way you disregard what I say,
And I oh baby I like the way.

And I said I like the way you roll your eyes at me,
And I like the way you turn and walk from me.




And I like the way you disregard what I say,
And I oh baby I like the way.

How to get a girl, according to the Michael Jackson manual:
1. Go into the ghetto
2. Walk up to the pretty girl
3. Let her ignore you.
4. Yell to affirm your presence.
5. Dance.
6. Follow her down the street, don't give up.
7. As you dance, lyrically seduce her with your song.
8. As you're singing to her, gracefully hump the air.
9. Get the homies to do some choreography
boom..you now have kissed your future wife.
And that's how it's done lads.
