The Way She Loves Me
Richard Marx · Paid Vacation
When I hear my baby calling
A simple motion, a look in her eyes
And I'm helplessly falling
I'd give all of somebody else
For any piece of her heart that's left
She known me better than I know myself
Let me tell you 'bout the way she loves me
Ooh, I want the world to know
I'm crazy 'bout the way she loves me
Ooh, I'm proud to let it show
Came close to letting this train pass me by
Just like a fool second guessing
I could've spent my life wondering why
I didn't cherish the blessing
If I'd have known she'd come my way
The lonely nights would have been okay
I have her promise that she's gonna stay
Repeat Chorus
Nobody else could do me so right
A breath of heaven in my darkest night
I'm gonna hold on with all of my might
Chorus Out
The Way She Loves Me
