The Voice and Totality of Goodness of Clayton Aiken Day: The Way �Parody�

Nelle and Wendy in chat...

Nelle: Wendy, do you want to collaborate on another song parody MP with me?

Wendy: Sure!

Nelle: You know, the kind where I have an idea, and you do all the work, and I get half the credit?

Wendy: HA HA HA, OK!

Nelle: It will be great fun, and I�m sure it will be another masterpiece like our other collaborations, White Leather, Clutch Aiken is Too Sexy and Tall Frame Long Jacket.

Wendy: Ok, Nelle, I said yes. What song do you want to parody?

Nelle: The Way! Won�t that be great?

Wendy: Sure, Nelle, what do you want me to do with the lyrics?

Nelle: Just post the lyrics to The Way, with a bunch of pictures of Clay singing that song to us�because the lyrics are exactly how we all feel about Clay.

Wendy: Nelle, but that�s not a parody, besides, Clay sings that song to a gurrl.

Nelle: Oh. Well, we can change the word "gurrl" to "Clay." Let�s do it anyway. I love the way Clay sings The Way.

Wendy: Me too, let�s!

The Way

There's somethin' 'bout the way

You look tonight

There's somethin' 'bout the way that

I can't take my eyes off you

There's somethin' 'bout the way your lips invite

Maybe it's the way that I get nervous when you're around

And I want you to be mine

And if you need a reason why

It's in the way that you move me

And the way that you tease me

That way that I want you tonight

It's the way that you hold me

And the way that you know me

And when I can't find the right words to say

You feel it in the way

Oh, feel it in the way

Somethin' 'bout how you stay on my mind

There's somethin' 'bout the way that

I whisper your name when I'm asleep, oh, Clay

Maybe it's the look you get in your eyes

Oh, baby, it's the way that it makes me feel to see you smile

And the reasons they may change

But what I'm feelin' stays the same

In the way that you move me

And the way that you tease me

The way that I want you tonight (tonight)

It's in the way that you know me

And when I can't find the right words to say

You feel it in the way

Oh, feel it in the way

I can't put my fingers on just what it is that makes me

Love you, you, baby

So don't ask me to decribe

I get all choked up inside

Just thinkin' 'bout the way

It's in the way that (Oh) You move me

And the way that you tease me

The way that I want you tonight (tonight)

Oh (It's in the way that)

You hold me (the way you hold me, yeah)

And the way that

You know me (the way you know me)

When I can find the right words to say (Feel it in the)

It's in the way that you move me

And the way that you tease me (feelin')

The way-ay-ay-ay-ay (feel it in the way)

There's somethin' 'bout the way you look tonight

There's nothin' more to say than I feel it in the way

Posted by Nelle, who really did half the work this time, honest.

Thanks to Clay Aiken, for everything
