Oughta See You (The Way I Do)

Hate to watch you washing tears down the drain
But 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 that 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
But don't fly away
You say you hate it, that your laugh is too loud
But I love the way it stands out in the crowd
And you're worried when you're dancing
'Cause you shake it like there's nothing to lose
Now honey, kick off your 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'll 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) Ah, yeah
(Oughta see you the way I do)
(Oughta see you the way I do) don't pay no mind to those folks on the sidelines
(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
