I've been messed up, tossed around
I've been flying high just to get knocked down
Always kept my feet on solid ground
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I've been creeping down the fast lane [bad word] this life at my own pace

I'll race you down the highway
So beat me if you can
Life's the game that I play

That's the way I am
That's the way life goes
This is who I wanna be
And that's the way it's gonna be
That's the way I am
Baby this I know
In all of this insanity
I'm everything I wanna be
That's the way I am
Yeah that's the way I am

I'm known to be wrong, when I'm right
I'm colourful in black and white
I'm a beam of sunshine in the night
I'm a snob, I'm a sleeze
I can make a fire freeze [bad word] and go just as I please

So baby this is my way
To make you understand
Life's the game that I play

That's the way I am
That's the way life goes
This is who I wanna be
And that's the way it's gonna be
That's the way I am
Baby this I know
In all of this insanity
I'm everything I wanna be
That's the way I am
(The way I Am)
Yeah that's the way I am
(The way I Am)
alright

I've been flying high just to get knocked down
Always kept my feet on solid ground
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I've been creeping down the fast lane [bad word] this life at my own pace

That's the way I am
That's the way life goes
This is who I wanna be
And that's the way it's gonna be
That's the way I am
Baby this I know
In all of this insanity
I'm everything I wanna be
That's the way I am
(The way I Am)
Yeah that's the way I am
(The way I Am)
That's the way I am
(The way I Am)
Yeah that's the way I am
(The way I Am)

I've been messed up, tossed around
Yeah i've been knocked down
But thats just the way life is, you know
That's the way i am
