Song Lyric Sunday was created by Helen Vahdati from This Thing Called Life One Word at a Time and author Jim Adams from A Unique Title For Me is our current guest host. For complete rules or to join in the fun, click here.
The theme for Song Lyric Sunday this week is “Song that includes a number.”
~~~~~~~~~~
How Many Ways is the fifth and final single from American singer Toni Braxton’s eponymous debut studio album, released in 1993.
It was released as double-sided with I Belong to You, which garnered Braxton a nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 1996 Grammy Awards.
In How Many Ways, co-written by Braxton herself, the protagonist declares there are many ways in which she loves her man, and she does a literal count from one to ten.
FUN FACTS:
- A remix produced by R. Kelly also was released to radio and music television stations.
- I Belong to You/How Many Ways peaked at number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 on January 21, 1995.
- The music video for How Many Ways features Braxton and actor Shemar Moore (Criminal Minds) riding in a car, frolicking in a playground, and on a veranda.
Enjoy!

How Many Ways
Cause I never knew love like this
You know you make me feel
So good inside and boy,
It’s a feeling I just can’t hide
And baby words can’t express my gratitude
For each and every little thing you do
I want to understand
You’re all the man
That I love and I know
That I need and I want and more
Baby let me count the ways
Let me count the ways
How many ways, I love you
Let me cont the ways
I’ll never let you go
When I’m with you
I feel so free I could count
From 1 up to 99 and still believe
Although sometimes now baby
We disagree
There ain’t never or will
Ever be another love for me
And I want you to know I appreciate
All the things that you do when you do
What you do for me
Darling let me count the ways
Let me count the ways
How many ways, I love you
Let me cont the ways
3, 4 So much more
5, 6 I can’t get enough of this
7 let me show you my love
And take you to heaven
8, 9, 10 let me start love
Over and over… again
I know of her but this song was new to me. Thanks.
