I Like Our Way Better

Words and Music by Wade Wooldridge

A song for Kimberly's birthday.

Today let's lift weights and play racquetball,
Get too competitive while we perspire.
This evening we'll dine and sip on red wine,
And talk with our friends as we sit 'round the fire.

So long as when we look back at all
The wonderful ways we life each other higher.
I know in my core that I love you more.
My goal's to fulfill each and every desire you have.

I like our way better.
So what if this is as good as it gets?
Our charmed life together.
You put up with snoring; I put up with cigarettes...
I still like our way better.

From Landmark we get brutal honesty.
From Science of Mind we let God see us through.
Aikido to stand-up, who knows where we'll end up.
It's always a blast when I do it with you.

Any there's so much more world for us to see:
Europe to Egypt, and China, Peru.
We'll live for today, but still sock some away.
Tomorrow's a chance to create something new with you.

I like our way better.
There's plenty of meat still attached to those bones.
Our charmed life together.
Christmastime every year, back to our parents' homes...
I still like our way better.

Your Mom says we're farts in a whirlwind.
Your Dad says our dryer is shrinking your pants.
Our parents, it seems, have abandoned their dreams,
And all they can do is look at us askance as we

Keep being boyfriend and girlfriend,
With writing and acting and singing and dance.
Two cerebral cortexes merging their vortexes,
Looking to find our own kind of romance.

I like our way better.
So what if this is as good as it gets?
Our charmed life together.
You put up with snoring; I put up with cigarettes...
I still like our way better.
