Just The Way I Like It

(album: Soldiers Of Fortune - 1986)

I wasn't born with a silver spoon
In my mouth
(Was) so damn poor
We were down and out
Had no shoes for my dancing feet
But I still kept time
With the beat of the street

It was a downtown
Rundown neighborhood
When times got bad
We tried to make'em good
Going to school didn't get me far
I learned my licks
In an all-night bar, ooh

That's the way I like it
Just the way I like it
That's the way I like it, oh

Street lights are hot
Street life is cool
Deal with it, Jack
Or it'll treat you cruel
It ain't easy, it's sleazy
Even slime
Call it what you want
But it's mine, mine, mine

Yeah, that's the way I like it
Just the way I like it
(Just the way I like it)
That's the way I like it
Just the way I like it

Repeat 1st verse

Yeah oww

That's the way I like it
Just the way I like it
Just the way
Just the way I like it
That's the way I like it
Just the way I like it
Just the way, just the way
Just the way I like it, huh

Just the way I like it
Just the way I like it
That's the way I like it
That's the way, that's the way
That's the way I like it
