From the recording Our Way
The beginning of our co-writing adventur! Bill was writing his first song for JJ. She got excited! Then impatient.. And she intervened, writing the second verse, creating LoveSeat’s first co-write and duet!
Lyrics
OUR WAY INSTEAD (BILL & JJ)
V1
YOU TALK LIKE AN OUTLAW BUT YOU LOVE LIKE A DOG
YOU ROCK LIKE A SHOOTING STAR THEN YOU SLEEP LIKE A LOG
I KNOW YOU HATE WINTER AND YOU DON’T MUCH CARE FOR THE FALL
JUST LAY THERE AND DREAM OF SPRINGTIME, THE SUMMER SOLSTICE BALL
AND WHEN YOU AWAKEN BABY, THEY’RE BE FLOWERS IN OUR BED
CAUSE WE DON’T DO NOTHING RIGHT, WE DO IT OUR WAY INSTEAD
V2
YOU TALK LIKE A SCHOLAR BUT YOU LAUGH LIKE A CHILD
YOUR KISSES ARE SWEET AS SUGAR AND YOUR TOUCH DRIVES ME WILD
YOU LOVE TO WATCH THE SUN GO DOWN AND GAZE UP AT A HARVEST MOON
I’LL GRAB THE FLASK AND YOU CAN POUR THE WHISKEY
THEN I’LL RACE YOU TO OUR ROOM
I’LL SCRATCH YOUR BACK AND THEN I’LL USE YOU AS A PILLOW FOR MY HEAD
CAUSE WE DON’T DO NOTHING RIGHT WE DO IT OUR WAY INSTEAD
V3
YOU CAN LISTEN TO YOUR BLUEGRASS MUSIC
YOU CAN HAVE YOUR ROCK AND ROLL
WHEN THE KIDS HAVE WIPED US OUT
AND WORK HAS TAKEN ITS TOLL
I’LL GO TO THE STACK OF VINYL WHERE I KNOW I CAN FIND
SOME PLACE WHERE WE MEET IN THE MIDDLE WHETHER IT’S ZEPPELIN OR PRINE
AND THEN I’LL LIGHT A CANDLE AND PUT IT ON THE TABLE BY OUR BED
CAUSE WE DON’T DO NOTHING RIGHT WE DO IT OUR WAY INSTEAD
TAG: NO WE DON’T DO NOTHING RIGHT WE DO IT OUR WAY INSTEAD
