That’s The Way

Joseph Arrington

You know
Since I've been singing songs about love
And how a man and a woman
Are supposed to treat each other
I've had several people all
Across the country
To walk up and ask me if I
Could help them with their love affairs
Well, I'm no authority on love and
I never claimed to be
But this woman that I met at
This gas station in North Carolina
The other week keeps comin' back to my mind
This woman had a problem
She walked up to me with tears in her eyes
And I could see that she was hurt
She said to me, she said "Mr joe"
Said "I don't think my man loves me anymore
You know he used to hold me
Tenderly and kiss me real good"
Said "But now he don't do that no more"
Said "He just loves me now
And if I like it, it's alright
And if I don't
That's alright with him too"
She said "There are two things I
Want you to do for me
Before y'all leave her tonight"
Said "I want you to give me your
Autograph on this piece of paper
And then tell me something that I can
Go home and do or say
To my man to make him treat
Me a little bit better"
And I said "Miss lady", heh
"You go home and you tell
Your man that I said", huh
Mmm

He's got to hold you
And he's got to hold you like he means it
And when he kisses you
Tell him to put some feeling in it
He's got to love you and love you right
So you can start sleepin' at night
Tell him I said

That's the way a man is supposed
To make his woman feel yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)

He's gotta start comin' home
Each and every night and makin' sure, huh
That you're alright
And if you're ever feeling blue
He's got to know just what to do
Tell him I said

That's the way a man is supposed
To make his woman feel yeah (yeah)
Yeah (yeah)

He's gotta take you out every now and then
And give a little bit of money
Hm, some of you may like that
So you can have some change to spend
Instead of complimenting Mary Lou
He's got to start complimenting you
Tell him I said

That's the way a man is supposed
To make his woman feel yeah (yeah)
Yeah
