What a way (to show I love you)
Gilbert O'Sullivan · Sound Of The Loop [1991]
I'll be right there by your side
If and then you can't be sure
I can help you to decide
It's no secret any longer
Come to think it
It wasn't even at the start
In my heart where you reign
You'd have thought by now
That something would upset the balance
But as yet nothing has come along
What a way to show I love you
Underneath the floor above you
What a way to give each other a ride
What a way to face the future
Knowing you'll be always true to her
What a way to keep each other alive
I'm a great believer in
The thoughts of anywhere and how
I would say that all the things
You want are yours right here and now
Don't forget I've learnt my lesson
Had the opportunity to make many mistakes
In the days before you came
And although I find it hard
To let myself look foolish
It doesn't mean we don't have any fun
What a way to show I love you
Other than below or above you
What a way to kiss each other goodbye
What a way to start tomorrow
Knowing that there'll be no sorrow
What a way to keep each other alive
What a way to show I love you
Underneath the floor above you
What a way to give each other a ride
What a way to face the future
Knowing you'll be always true to her
What a way to keep each other alive
What a way (to show I love you)
