Lyrics
Just The Way That I Roll
Verse:
I will never be the kind of guy,
That your Momma would approve
So tell me why do you hang around here,
Now baby tell me the truth
Do you think you might change me,
If just given some time
Well then you wouldn't love me as much,
Now baby that would be a crime
So listen to what I'm gonna say...
Chorus:1
I'm like the roll of the dice,
Don't know, which way I'll go
Don't try to change me girl (you should have listened to your Momma girl (in chorus 2)
I can't help it baby,
It's just the way that I roll..
Verse:
I live life one day at a time,
I don't care to make a show
And if it gets too serious for me
That's when it's time for, me to go
'Cause I will never be happy,
Workin' 9 to 5
My wheels are always turnin' girl
So come along if, you want a ride
But don't try to change me 'cause....
Chorus:2
Repeat chorus 1:
Verse:
What is it that you see in me,
That makes you wanna stick around
Do you think you really can change me girl,
And make me wanna, settle down
But I can never be happy,
Working 9 to 5
My wheels are always turnin' girl,
So come along if, you want a ride
But don't try to change me 'cause..
Chorus 2:
So listen to what I'm gonna say..
Chorus 1:
