Just the Way You Like It (album version) Lyrics
You have been single for a long time
And I don't wanna cramp your style.
Still you insist you want to settle down.
But I know better.
You can't change years overnight.
And asking that, I never would do.
So here is solution that comes to mind.
As long as I can be your number one,
You still can have your fun.
Whenever you need love,
I will give it to you just the way you like it.
You keep your other girls until you settle down.
Whenever you get borde,
i will give it to you just the way you like it.
I have never had a guy
Who has as many girls as you.
But numbers cannot take the place of quality.
I have no doubt by this decision to see us through.
And my love is so strong for you.
And by your side I always will remain.
As long as I can be your number one,
You still can have your fun.
Whenever you need love,
I will give it to you just the way you like it.
You keep your other girls until you settle down.
Whenever you get bored,
I will give it to you just the way you like it.
Just the way you like it.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
Just the way you like it.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
(Guitar solo)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.
If you plan on loving me for a lifetime,
It doesn't matter what you do.
With other girls, they just can't change your mind, oh no,
'Cause when you're tired of them, you'll come back to me.
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.) I won't tie you down.
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.) You can play around,
(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh.) 'Cause you'll know where the best love is found.
Right here.
As long as I can be your number one,
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.)
You still can have your fun. (Ooh, ooh.)
Whenever you need love,
I will give it to you just the way you like it.
You keep your other girls (Oh, oh, oh.)
Until you settle down. (Till you settle down.)
Whenever you get bored,
I will give it to you just the way you like it.
(As long as I can be your number one,) Anyway you need it,
(You still can have your fun.) Anyway you want it.
Whenever you need love,
Anytime, anywhere, just for you I'll be there.
(You keep your other girls) Anyway you need it,
(Until you settle down.) Anyway you like it.
Whenever you get bored,
I'll be there on the case, put a smile on your face. (Just the way you like it)
(As long as I can be your number one,) Just the way you need it,
(You still can have your fun.) Just the way you like it.
Whenever you need love,
I will give it to you just the way, just the way you like it.
You keep your other girls...
Yeah.
(Instrumental break)
As long as I can be your number one, (Oh, oh, oh.)
You still can have your fun.
Whenever you need love,
