Lyrics
Verse 1
You could take the shortcut, baby
I take the long way on purpose
Gold trim on the cheap frame
Make it look like it was worth it
I fold my sleeves like a habit
Slow walk, clean cut, no panic
Sip it neat, then I’m gone
Like I left a little magic
Pre-Chorus
You want simple, I want shine
You want fast, I take my time
Every move got a little extra
Every step got a little bite
Chorus
Do it the fancy way
Baby, that’s my way
Do it the fancy way
Make the plain things sway
Do it the fancy way
Watch me turn it around
Do it the fancy way
I don’t know another sound
[Fancy way] (fancy way)
[Fancy way] (fancy way)
Verse 2
I lace up in the front row
With a grin and a clean line
Rose on the table, no reason
Just because it feels fine
You came in with a rough draft
I came in with the final
Every little mess gets polished
Till it glows like vinyl
Pre-Chorus
You want simple, I want shine
You want fast, I take my time
Every move got a little extra
Every step got a little bite
Chorus
Do it the fancy way
Baby, that’s my way
Do it the fancy way
Make the plain things sway
Do it the fancy way
Watch me turn it around
Do it the fancy way
I don’t know another sound
[Fancy way] (fancy way)
[Fancy way] (fancy way)
Bridge
Little bow on the trouble
Little spark in the frame
If I’m gonna do it once
I’m gonna do it in style, babe
Half-step, then I glide in
No rush, let them stare
If you ask me how I live
I’ll just smile and say
Chorus
Do it the fancy way
Baby, that’s my way
Do it the fancy way
Make the plain things sway
Do it the fancy way
Watch me turn it around
Do it the fancy way
I don’t know another sound
[Fancy way] (fancy way)
[Fancy way] (fancy way)
