So Many Ways Lyrics

[Intro:]
I? m your director
Its getting deep
We don? t need to rent nothing, we? ll make our own movies
I? m your director
Its getting deep
We don? t need a videotape or a camera
To make this ghetto love scene
Whoo
I wanna welcome everybody here tonight (uh)
Its such a beautiful occasion (yes)
I wanna tell you the way I feel (you know)
This is for the ladies
I wanna take you to a place you? ve never been before (take you there)
Sit back and enjoy this ride

[Verse 1:]
Our love exploding in the air
Like the works on the 4th of July
Or like the sun how it sits upon the earth
Shine through clouds in the sky
I might never get as much air time
As a pilot would get
But I? m sure right to do things
That we both haven? t tried yet
Take a trip to the moon
Just me and you
And we? ll shine on the earth
I? ll show the world what you? re worth

[Chorus:]
Did ya like that
Tell me
Did ya like that
I just wanna, I just wanna show
So many ways I
Wanna show you what
Take our love to another level
So many ways I
Wanna go to a new paradise
Just one blink of an eye
So many ways I can
And I? ll never let you go

[Verse 2:]
Cause this
This message of love is what I? m sending to you
I love you so much there? s nothing I wouldn? t do
For you, for you
Let me be the reason you come from the floor with nothing but love (?)
Like an orphan at Christmas
Who gets a million toys
There's no words to explain how it felt when we met
But I
I? ll try with this song and see how far I can get
It feels like Heaven
When you? re wrapped in my arms, that? s what comes over me
It feels like Heaven

[Chorus:]
I just wanna, I just wanna
So many ways I
Wanna show you what
Take our love to another level
So many ways I
Wanna go to a new paradise
Just one blink of an eye
So many ways I can
And I? ll never let you go

[Verse 3:]
Take you to a place far away from here
Go somewhere to erase your fears
And feel free about life, no worries, in your life
Take you to a place far away from here
Go somewhere to erase your fears
Grass is greener on the other side
Just sit back and enjoy this ride

[Chorus:]
So many ways I (lets go)
Wanna show you what
Take our love to another level (far away)
So many ways I (take a car ride)
Wanna go to a new paradise
Just one blink of an eye (just me and you)
So many ways I can (so many ways)
And I? ll never let you go

[Outro:]
Ain? t nothing stopping us (nothing stopping us)
Grasp this opportunity (?)
Yeah, yeah, yeah?
Yeah, yeah, yeah?
[repeat]

Brook Benton (born Benjamin Franklin Peay on September 19, 1931; died April 9, 1988) was an American singer and songwriter who was popular with rock and roll, rhythm and blues, and pop music audiences during the late 1950s and early 1960s, when he scored hits such as "It's Just a Matter of Time" and "Endlessly", many of which he co-wrote.

When Benton was young he enjoyed gospel music and wrote songs and in 1948 he went to New York to pursue his music career.

He was a member of several gospel groups including "The Langfordairies", "The Jerusalem Stars", and "The Golden Gate Quartet".

After returning to his home state he joined a R&B singing group, "the Sandmen", and soon went back to New York to try for a big break. Eventually the record company decided to drop The Sandmen and push Brook as a solo artist.

Benton wrote songs for artists such as Nat King Cole, Clyde McPhatter, and Roy Hamilton. Soon he released his first minor hit A Million Miles From Nowhere, and later he joined the Mercury label, which would later bring him big success.

In 1952 he got his big break with It's Just a Matter of Time and Endlessly.

It's Just a Matter of Time made it to #3 on the U.S. Pop charts, while Endlessly made it to #12 . Both hits were written by Benton himself.

Benton had many #1 hits including Rainy Night in Georgia and Hotel Happiness. According to Songfacts, his version of the blues standard The Boll Weevil Song has the unique distinction of being the first #1 song on Billboard's Easy Listening chart.

Altogether, Benton had 38 hit singles through out his career. His last album was "Fools Rush In", released posthumously in 2005. He died on April 9, 1988. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
