That's Just the Way We Roll
Jonas Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's a whale in the pool with my mother
And my dad paints the house different colors
Where would we be, if we couldn't dream
And I know we get a little crazy
And I know we get a little loud
And I know we're never gonna fake it
So call us freaks, but that's just the way we roll
You got moves, I've got shoes, let's go dancing
Pop and lock, battle dance (battle dance) against Hanson
If we lose all the girls they'll be laughing
Where would we be, if we couldn't dream
And I know we get a little crazy
And I know we get a little loud
And I know we're never gonna fake it
We are wild, we are free, we are more than you think
So call us freaks, but that's just the way we roll
'Cause we're old enough to know
We're never letting go
'Cause that's just the way we roll
'Cause I know we get a little crazy
And I know we get a little loud
And I know we're never gonna fake it
We are wild, we are free, we are more than you think
So call us freaks, but that's just the way we roll
And I know we get a little crazy
And I know we get a little loud
And I know we're never gonna fake it
We are wild, we are free, we are more than you think
So call us freaks, but that's just the way we roll
