The Way
Morning Bliss: Embracing Love's Radiance in Jill Scott's 'The Way'
Lyrics
Woke up this morning with a smile on my face
Expressing waking up feeling happy and content.
Jumped out of bed, took a shower, dressed, cleaned up my place
Routine morning activities: getting ready and tidying up.
Made me some breakfast, toast, two scrambled eggs, grits
Preparing breakfast—toast, eggs, grits—for herself.
Grabbed my keys, grabbed my purse, grabbed my jacket
Gathering essentials before leaving home.
Off to work, beaming all the way down 3rd
Heading to work happily along 3rd Street.
Is it the way you love me baby
Pondering about the way her partner loves her.
Is it the way you love me baby
Reflecting on the quality of love she receives.
Yeah
An affirmative response, possibly agreeing with a previous sentiment.
Four thirty, can't wait to get home
Anxious to return home at 4:30.
(I know you comin' out)
Aware of the anticipation for someone's arrival.
Nah, girl, I got something else to do
Indicating alternate plans, not rushing home immediately.
(Damn Jill, don't be frontin' with your girls for real)
Encountering disbelief or skepticism from a friend.
Go 'head, really, get your groove on
Encouragement to enjoy herself despite the skepticism.
'Cause tonight my man's coming through, yes
Anticipating her partner's visit tonight.
We gonna have to connect some other time
Unable to meet up now due to prior commitments.
As much as I like to shake my thang on the dance floor
Liking dancing but having other plans in mind.
I got another nasty, freaky just right way in mind
Hinting at a more intimate activity for the evening.
Tonight I'm gonna beat the high score
Expressing the intent to surpass previous experiences.
Is it the way you love me baby, yeah
Reflecting on the impact of her partner's love.
Is it the way, way, way, way you love me baby, baby, baby
Reiterating the impact and depth of the partner's love.
Is it the way you love me baby (huh baby, is it?)
Questioning the nature or depth of affection received.
Is it the way you love me baby
Repeating the inquiry about the partner's love.
