I've been messed up, tossed around I've been flying high, just to get knocked down I always kept my feet, on solid ground I'm a sinner, I'm a saint I've been creeping down the fast lane I'll rush 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
[Chorus] 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 And 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 sleaze I can make a fire freeze I come and go, just as I please
So baby, this is my way To make you understand Life's the game, that I play
[Chorus]
I've been messed up, tossed around I've been flying high, just to get knocked down I always kept my feet, on solid ground I'm a sinner, I'm a saint I've been creeping down the fast lane I'll rush this life, at my own pace
[Chorus]
That's the way I am - yeah That's the way I am - alright (the way I am)
I've been messed up, tossed around I've been knocked down The rest is the way life is now That's the way I am
