You got a way of telling me I'm wrong
You got a way of comin' on so strong
I can take it from you

You help me when I'm down and I'm stuck on my own
You wake me up to all the little things that I don't see
You help me
You help me up, you help me out
You help me
You help me see myself and what I'm all about
You give me reason to believe that everything can be

You got a way of letting me know what's real
I don't get it from anyone else
Though I try to fool myself

'Cause you got a way that you do it
It's the way that you do it
