You know I been out here doing me
Like I said I would
Every night I lay with two or three
Got me feeling good
Didn’t want it to be over when you told me it was over
Baby, now I’m getting under somebody
All I wanted was to know love, now these hoes ain’t getting no love
I’m just sitting tryna pour up and party
Baby, you made me this way
I got you to thank, I got you to thank
Baby, you made me this way
I got you to thank ’cause I’m not the same, no
Uh huh, baby, uh huh, yeah, yeah
You made me this way, no
Uh huh, baby, uh huh, yeah, yeah
You make me this way
This ain’t what I thought I wanted, babe (oh, whoa)
Until you were gone, yeah (until you were gone)
I’d be crazy to ever complain (yeah, don’t, baby)
‘Cause I don’t sleep alone, baby (’cause I don’t sleep alone)
Baby, didn’t want it to be over when you told me it was over (didn’t want it to be, when you told me it was)
Baby, now I’m getting under somebody (baby, now I’m getting, yeah, somebody)
All I wanted was to know love, now these hoes ain’t getting no love (know love, no love)
I’m just sitting tryna pour up and party (pour up and party)
Baby, you made me this way (I got you)
I got you to thank, I got you to thank (huh, you)
Baby, you made me this way (baby, you made me this way)
I got you to thank ’cause I’m not the same, no (same)
Uh huh, baby, uh huh, yeah, yeah

Uh huh, baby, uh huh, yeah, yeah (uh huh, baby, uh huh)

Exploring the Emotions in “This Way”
Chris Brown’s “This Way” is a raw reflection on heartbreak, transformation, and self-discovery. The lyrics reveal a narrator coping with the aftermath of a breakup, indulging in fleeting pleasures and late-night escapades to fill the void left behind. The recurring theme, “you made me this way,” underscores the influence of a past lover on his current behaviors and emotional state. Despite the upbeat, party-driven vibe, there’s an undeniable vulnerability as Brown acknowledges how love’s loss has changed him. The song deftly balances feelings of regret, freedom, and longing as he grapples with moving on while still feeling the sting of his former relationship.
