It's the way... every time I hear Shake It, I do.

It's the way... every time I hear Come To Me, iwantahomevideoreallybad.

It's the way... every time I hear Mercy, I want to feel that out of control.

It's the way... every time I hear Build My World, I want to hug you until you feel better.

It's the way... when everyone else was dancing around and watching the halftime performance...

you were the hoop.

It's the way... you can get away with a toe ring.

It's the way... you keep the pitch.

It's the way... you entrust Lonnie with your life.

And he never fails you.

It's the way... you'd do it broke if you had to.

It's the way... you wear more jewelry than I've seen in my entire life.

And somehow, it works.

 

It's the way... you genuinely believed that there were only three reasons.

It's the way... life is always good.

It's the way... sometimes Mom gets it right.

And sometimes Mom gets it highly questionable.

It's the way... every time I hear ADIDAS, I point.  And that's all your fault.

It's the way... every time I hear Some Girls, I feel like I'm in the club with you.

It's the way... every time I hear One Night Stand, I laugh and love and adore.

It's the way... every time I hear 100 Ways, I want to jump around like an idiot.
 

It's the way... the pride you have in your music is only
surpassed by the passion you have in performing it.

It's the way... you would never laugh at this girl's hat.

You'd probably just ask her where she got it.
 

It's the way... you continue to surprise people.

It's the way... blow up dolls frighten you.

It's the way... I think the only person who loves your tongue more than we do, is you.

It's the way... your reputation was more important than
exposure and you didn't let anyone push you around.

It's the way... hitting someone in the nuts caused you so much glee.

It's the way... you've, uh, grown up.

And can I just thank you for that?   Yes.

It's the way... you know, people.

It's the way... this picture made the Harry Potter/*NSYNC fans skitter about with joy.

It's the way... every time I hear Right Here (By Your Side), I break out into a huge grin.

It's the way... every time I hear the bridge in Right There, it takes me to another world.

It's the way... every time I hear Dear Goodbye, I think of someone I lost and usually cry.

It's the way... every time I hear Lose Myself, I find myself wanting my own Army of Love.
 

It's the way... some deals are worth it.

It's the way... I really want some licorice right now.

It's the way... you'll break into The Worm at the drop of a hat.

It's the way... your star shines brighter than even you know.

It's the way... you give 150%, no matter what you're doing.

It's the way... if this music thing doesn't pan out,
I think you have great potential in other fields.

It's the way... the pink is sometimes subtle...

and sometimes it's a bit more obvious, depending on your mood.

But it's always there.

It's the way... you'll never let them forget who you are.

It's the way... this smile makes everything better.

It's the way... your hair too sexy!

It's the way... every time I hear Everything You Want, I get handed a harsh dose of reality.

It's the way... every time I hear Slept With My Best Friend, I know exactly who you're talking about.

It's the way... every time I hear Something Special, I feel like I'm clapping around a camp fire.

It's the way... every time I hear She Got Me, I'm reminded yet again that you can do anything.

 

It's the way... you've touched us.

It's the way... you're sillier than most people give you credit for.

It's the way... you fit in everywhere.

It's the way... you give us everything you have.

It's the way... everything happens for a reason.

And despite everything, you were there, on one of the biggest nights of your best friend's life.
 

It's the way... Wipeout is a part of you.

It's the way... you make us laugh.

It's the way... you make us cry.

It's the way... you make us crazy! crazy! crazy!

It's the way... hehe hehehehe HEHEHEHE.

It's the way... they make you smile.

It's the way... you put your friends before yourself.

It's the way... when you said you wanted to reach the people again, you weren't kidding.

It's the way... every time I hear If You Were My Girl, I wonder why the hell you're not the biggest thing ever. Oh, and I want to see you perform it with Lenny Kravitz at least once in my lifetime.

It's the way... every time I hear the drum cadence in Blowin' Me Up, it completely energizes me.

It's the way... every time I listen to Schizophrenic, I feel a thousand different ways. 

Which I guess was the point, huh?

It's the way... I could go on like this for days and you'll still
 never really know how loved, admired and appreciated you are.
