Oughta See You (The Way I Do)

Hate to watch you washin' tears down the drain

And don't you let that mirror drive you insane

To hell with all the baggage

You're carrying the weight of the world

And that can be rough

Believing all those little lies

That are telling you, "You ain't enough"

I tell you the truth

'Cause I wish you knew

Oughta see you

You oughta see you the way I do

I know sometimes you think you're talking too much

But honey, I don't ever want you to hush

You're singing like a bird

With every single word you say

Don't fly away

You say you hate it that your laugh is too loud

But I love the way it stands out in a crowd

And you're worried when you're dancing

'Cause you shake it like there's nothing to lose

Now, honey, kick off ya shoes

Don't pay no mind to those folks on the sidelines judging you

I tell you the truth

'Cause I wish you knew

Oughta see you

You oughta see you the way I do

I'll always love you

I'll never fail you

I don't care how many times I gotta

Tell you the truth

‘Cause I wish you knew

Ought to see you

You oughta see you the way I do

I tell you the truth

'Cause I wish you knew

Ought to see you

You oughta see you the way I do

I tell you, girl

Oughta see you the way I do

I'll tell you every day of my life

Oughta see you the way I do

Oughta see you the way I do

Oughta see you the way I do

Oh, yeah

Oughta see you the way I do

Oughta see you the way I do

Don't pay no mind to them folks on the sidelines, baby

Oughta see you the way I do

Oughta see you the way I do

Oughta see you the way I do

Oughta see you the way I do
