Get Your Way Lyrics
Dinner at 8, that sounds fine
I s'pose it means you'll turn up round 9
Bought a bunch of flowers just for her
She says the burden's on the receiver
I opened the door and you walked in
The scent of wild jasmine
The room seemed to freeze in time
My regular table will be just fine
Radiant and elegant you might be
But your concentration is so go-lightly
Both of your eyes reflect the moon
You really think you own the room
So what game shall we play today?
How about the one where you don't get your way?
And even if you do, that's ok
So what game shall we play today?
How about the one where you don't get your way?
And even if you do, that's ok
Try to pick it up, I'm reading the signs
It's turning out to be a real good time
Now, who'd have thought that entertainment
Lies in the winter of our discontent?
We sit at the table, face to face
Queen takes Pawn
Check on, checkmate
I feel your foot brush against my leg
I'm not that easily led
You flutter your eyes and touch your hair
I have to say that it is kinda unfair
Now let me tell you, baby, what's in store
You win the battle but I'll win the war
So what game shall we play today?
How about the one where you don't get your way?
And even if you do, that's ok
So what game shall we play today?
How about the one where you don't get your way?
And even if you do, that's ok
This has been fun, I suppose
Although my feelings are all juxtaposed
Truth be told, I'm as fickle as hell
But a gentleman never kisses and tells
So what game shall we play today?
How about the one where you don't get your way?
And even if you do, that's ok
So what game shall we play today?
How about the one where you don't get your way?
And even if you do, that's ok
I s'pose it means you'll turn up round 9
Bought a bunch of flowers just for her
She says the burden's on the receiver
The scent of wild jasmine
The room seemed to freeze in time
My regular table will be just fine
But your concentration is so go-lightly
Both of your eyes reflect the moon
You really think you own the room
How about the one where you don't get your way?
And even if you do, that's ok
So what game shall we play today?
How about the one where you don't get your way?
And even if you do, that's ok
It's turning out to be a real good time
Now, who'd have thought that entertainment

Check on, checkmate

I'm not that easily led

Now let me tell you, baby, what's in store

This is my favourite song of Jamie's. It's just about how he's with this girl who's kind of flakey, always wants her own way and such. Then she starts flirting, sending signals but he's not buying it
"I feel your foot brush against my leg, I'm not that easily led" They are both playing a kind of game but the result is left ambiguous. Who won? We may never know because "a gentleman never kisses and tells"
This is a good song because it reminds me of the games you have to play with girls. "Queen takes pawn check on, check mate" is such a good way to put it. You have play the strategy game until you finally win. Good stuff.
This is one of Jamies more original Jazzy songs that r good lol song kicks ass -peej
"Now let me tell you baby what's in store, You win the battle but I'll win the war" hahaha, what a pimp
This song is a hip song. It makes me want to move my hips.
But it's hip, too.
I always feel like this is song is pretty much the definition of a high maintenance girlfriend (or something)... He obviously is annoyed by her, but he likes her enough that he's okay with it.
I always thought it was 'But your concentration is so Golightly' as a reference to Breakfast at Tiffany's.
PS: Love the song!
i never get tired of this song i love it he did his thing and the beat is so catchy.
