Like The Way U Do
Sesame Street · Other Songs - Sesame Street
To understand I love U
'Cause no other letter
Looks and sounds like U do
Oh, I love your "uh" sound
And have I ever told you
That I'd be upset
If you left the alphabet
That's why I hold U, hold U, like I do
U stand for understanding
For up and undemanding
And U stand for underwear
For ugly and unfair
And I don't know any letter
Who makes the "uh" sound better
Than the letter U
I love the "uh" sound, of the letter U
And I want the "uh" sound, of the letter U
Oh, I need the "uh" sound, of the letter U
That's why I ache, that's why I ache
I ache, I ache, just to hold U, hold U
Like I do
No one else begins uptown
No one starts up upside-down
No one else begins unable, uncertain or unstable
And no one else can spell-a
A neat word like umbrella
Like the way U do
Like the way U do
Nobody makes that "uh" sound
Like the way U do
No, no, no, no
Give me that "uh" sound, come on
Like the way U do
Like the way U do
Like the way U do
