I Love the Way Lyrics by Wayne Kirkpatrick

Something Rotten! (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

2015

[PORTIA]
I love Sidney and Marlowe and often I borrow
Their words to express how I feel
I love poems of mystery, fantasy, history
Oh, what seductive appeal
At night, alone in my bedroom
Satisfying my need
The candlelight fire ignites my desire
To read
Oh
Every time I hear a perfect rhyme I get all tingly
Because I know
That to find a perfect rhyme is not an easy thing-ly
I love the places that words let me go
I love the way that your words move me so
No words have touched me the way that yours do
And I love—
(spoken)
You are really doing something to me, Mr. Poetry Man
Oh, forgive me, I never get to discuss poems in this way
[NIGEL (spoken)]
Oh, it's ok, I just never knew that poetry could affect someone the way it affects me
[PORTIA (spoken)]
Me neither
[NIGEL]
It's the end-all, the be-all, oh, you oughta see all
The books that I have on my shelf
[PORTIA]
Me too!
I find pleasure perusing those writings and musings
So often I pleasure myself
Wait, that didn't sound right
[NIGEL]
No, I know what you mean
When I'm deep in the throes of impassionate prose
I could scream
[PORTIA (spoken)]
You scream?
[NIGEL (spoken)]
Yeah
[PORTIA (spoken)]
So do I! AHH!
(sung)
Oh
I love a lilting line of lyrical alliteration
[NIGEL]
Who doesn't love alliteration?
[PORTIA]
And then I'm like "woah"
When the phrases come together like a consummation
[NIGEL]
It's sweet elation
[PORTIA & NIGEL]
I love the places that words let me go
I love the way that your words move me so
I love that you feel the same way I do
And I love
You know that I love
You know that I love
[NIGEL (spoken)]
Me too
