I wrote this song quickly one day after a conversation with a friend. At the time, I felt like it was kind of a throwaway, just a song on the bridge to another song. But then it sort of caught on, and the simplicity that made me doubt its worth in the beginning turned out to be this little song's strength because everyone seems to 'get' it.
Even more exciting was the fact that Girlyman's Doris Muramatsu, whose voice is so pure and clean and perfect, agreed to sing on it. I think you can feel the love...I swoon.
lyrics
You got a way with words
You got a way with living life
You got me thinking this thing might be
really, really nice
You got me counting all my blessings
You got me staying up too late
You got me trying really hard at work
just to concentrate
I keep thinking about your face
You got me
You got me
You got me
and maybe I got you
You got me burning mix CDs
You got me stuck on bad TV shows
You got me believing I'm finally
on the right road
You got me all smiles, all the time
You got me forgetting the wreckage
You got me waiting all night by the phone
for another text message
I just want one more text message
You got me
You got me, baby
You got me
and maybe I've got you, too
You got your way with me
You got me spending all the nights
You got me wondering what I bring to the table
for the first time in my life
oh, it feels like the first time
You got me
You got me, baby, yeah
You got me
and maybe I've got you, too
I sure hope that I do
'cause you got a way with words
You got a way with living life
You got me believing
this thing could be
really, really nice
