One Way
Faith & Scars Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Thats just the way Im
I do it just because I can

Hey you
Whatcha gonna do
Get out of my way cus the girls coming through
Im proud Ill say it out loud
Never sitting pretty
Standing out from the crowd
If I want it
Ill get it
Better give it up, cus youre never gonna stop me
Having my way
I wont change no matter what you say

[Chorus]
Thats just the way I am
I do it just because I can
Anything I want to
Im not gonna ask you no
You better understand (Im gonna make a stand)
Thats just the way I am

Hey yeah, you say ita not fair
Im breaking boy's hearts
And I just dont care
So what, if I take it too far
Waking up the neighbors
Crankin up my guitar
If I like it, Ill do it
Lock me in a cage and Ill break right through it
Baby its true
I wont change no matter what you do

[Chorus]
Thats just the way I am
I do it just because I can
Anything I want to
Im not gonna ask you no
You better understand (Im gonna make a stand)
Thats just the way I am

Im frustrating
Taking a left when everyone else turns right
Infuriating
Me and my girls rockin the house all night
Fascinating
Never know when
Im gonna blow your mind
Drive you crazy as Im takin the floor
You'll keep coming back for more

[Chorus]
Thats just the way I am
I do it just because I can
Thats just the way I am
I do it just because I can
Anything I want to
Im not gonna ask you no
You better understand

Thats just the way I am
I do it just because I can
Anything I want to
Im not gonna ask you no




You better understand
Thats just the way I am
