美國搖滾女將［梅麗莎伊瑟麗姬］名曲之一──根源搖滾──［Like The Way I Do／像我一樣］

Is it so hard
To satisfy your senses?
You found out to love me
You have to climb some fences
Scratching and crawling
Along the floor to touch you
And just when it feels right
You say you found someone to hold you
Does she like I do?

Baby, tell me does she love you
Like the way I love you?
Does she stimulate you?
Attract and captivate you?
Tell me, does she miss you?
Existing just to kiss you
Like the way I do?

Tell me, does she want you?
Infatuate and haunt you?
Does she know just how to shock you?
Electrify and rock you?
Does she inject you?
Seduce you and affect you?
Like the way I do?
Like the way I do?

Can I survive
All the implications?
Even if I tried
Could you be less than an addiction?
Dont you think I know
Theres so many others
Who would beg, steal and lie
Fight, kill and die
Just to hold you
Hold you like I do?

Baby, tell me does she love you
Like the way I love you?
Does she stimulate you?
Attract and captivate you?
Tell me, does she miss you?
Existing just to kiss you?
Like the way I do?

Tell me, does she want you?
Infatuate and haunt you?
Does she know just how to shock you?
Electrify and rock you?
Does she inject you?
Seduce you and affect you?
Like the way I do?

Oh, nobody loves you
Like the way I do
Nobody wants you
Like the way I do
Nobody needs you
Like the way I do
Nobody aches
Nobody aches just to hold you
Like the way I do
No, no, no

Tell me, does she love you
Like the way I love you?
Does she stimulate you?
Attract and captivate you?
Baby, baby, tell me, does she miss you?
Existing just to kiss you?
Like the way I do?

No, tell me, does she want you?
Infatuate and haunt you?
Does she know just how to shock you?
Electrify and rock you?
Does she inject you?
Seduce you and affect you, baby?
Like the way I do?
No, like the way I do?
Oh-ho, yeah

１９８８年，梅麗莎推出第三單曲［Like The Way I Do／像我一樣］，由梅麗莎本人創作，

伊瑟麗姬，Niko Bolas，Craig Krampf，Kevin McCormick製作成一首根源搖滾，

編曲隨興，節奏搖曳，梅麗莎沙啞渾實嗓音的詮釋奔放，情感豐沛．

［Like The Way I Do／像我一樣］未能登上美國告示牌百大單曲榜，

只登上副榜──專輯搖滾曲目榜＃３２。

１９９５年，［Like the Way I Do］作為［Yes I Am］專輯最後一首單曲［If I Wanted To］的以雙A面單曲重新發行．

［Like the Way I Do" / "If I Wanted To］拿到告示牌百大單曲榜＃１６（1995年榜#90）。

［Like the Way I Do］是梅麗莎第一首不斷被觀眾點播的原創歌曲。

這伊瑟麗姬最著名的歌曲之一，她在自傳中寫道：「［Like the Way I Do］絕對是我最好的歌曲之一。它充滿激情、痛苦、渴望，以及徹骨的痛徹心扉。

如果你看過我的演唱會，你就會知道，當我唱這首歌時，它就融入了我。這首歌改變了我和觀眾。 」

伊瑟麗姬也表示，錄音室版其實是這首歌的短版本，因為她現場演唱時會進行大量即興演奏，有時歌曲會長達15到20分鐘
