You could say this was an independent love song
It´s nothing like two lovers
What love meant to them
But that´s not to say the love we had
Isn´t big or that strong
I´m doing it a different way
I´m doing it a different way

You might say this is another boring love song
To be together and forever be true
And so today is much the same as it was then
I´m doing it a different way
I´m doing it a different way

I´ll show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I´ll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I´ll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on

Now I find that many men will look my way
And I´ll take them and let them show me the way
And sure I like a few but I leave the rest to play
I´m doing it a different way
I´m doing it a different way

I´m gonna show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I´ll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I´ll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
Right on, right on, right on

In a different way, in a different way, in a different way
In a different way, in a different way, in a different way
In a different way, in a different way, in a different way

I´ll show you how to take me
Go down, go down, go down
And I´ll show you how to love me
Right on, right on, right on
And I´ll show you how to touch me
Right on, right on, right on
Right on, right on, right on

You could say this was an independent love song
It´s nothing like two lovers
What love meant to them
But that´s not to say the love we have
Isn´t good or that strong
I´m doing it a different way
I´m doing it a different way
