The way that you do it


You got a way of telling me I'm wrong
You got a way of coming on so strong
I can take it from you, yeah you know I always do
Cause you got a way that you do it
It's the way that you do it
The way that you do it just got to be right.

You got a way of leaving me no doubt
You got a way of telling me what I'm about
I couldn't take it from anyone else, yeah I really surprised myself
Cause you got a way that you do it
It's the way that you do it
The way that you do it just got to be right.

You help me (you help me when I feel alone)
You help me (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, help me, 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 that can be.

You got a way of knowing just how I feel
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
The way that you do it just got to be right.

You help me (you help me when I feel alone)
You help me (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, help me, 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 that can be.

You got a way of telling me I'm wrong
You got a way of coming on so strong
I can take it from you, yeah you know I always do
Cause you got a way that you do it
It's the way that you do it
The way that you do it just got to be right.

The way that you do it just got to be right.
The way that you do it just got to be right.

Biografia

Gerry Rafferty (1947-2011) was a Scottish singer-songwriter and guitarist known for his folk rock style influenced by blues. Born in Paisley, Scotland, Rafferty began his musical career in the 1960s with the groups The Humblebums and Stealers Wheel. With the latter, he achieved international success in 1973 with the single "Stuck in the Middle with You", which became a rock classic. After the dissolution of Stealers Wheel, Rafferty embarked on a successful solo career, releasing albums such as "City to City" (1978) and "Right Down the Line" (1980), both characterized by catchy melodies and introspective lyrics. His most famous song is probably "Baker Street", a 1978 single that topped the charts in many countries thanks also to the famous saxophone solo. Rafferty continued to record music until the late 1990s, although he never reached the commercial success of his early years. He died in 2011 at the age of 63.
