The Way I Like It
Embracing the Blues: Life, Love, and Music
Lyrics
Why do I do it
Reflecting on the motivation or reason behind personal actions or choices.
Why do I choose
Questioning the conscious decision to make specific choices in life.
To spend my life singing the blues
Acknowledging a tendency to embrace a melancholic or sad musical genre (blues).
That's the way I like it, babe
Expressing a preference for the chosen lifestyle and musical style.
That's the way I do
Reiterating the satisfaction derived from living and creating music in a certain way.
Who said it's right
Raising questions about the societal norms or standards defining right and wrong.
Who said it's wrong
Challenging conventional judgments regarding the pursuit of a passion, such as music.
To spend your days chasing a song
Contemplating the worthiness of dedicating one's life to the pursuit of artistic expression.
Well, that's the way I like it, babe
Reaffirming a personal preference for the chosen lifestyle and creative endeavor.
That's the way I do
Emphasizing the consistency of the chosen path and artistic approach.
That's the way I like it, babe
Reiterating the satisfaction derived from living and creating music in a certain way.
That's the way I do
Stressing the continuity and stability of the preferred lifestyle and creative process.
If I said I love you
Acknowledging insincerity in expressing love, suggesting a lack of genuine emotion.
You know that's just a lie
Highlighting the falsehood of a proclaimed love, possibly due to personal reasons.
You can get inside of my head
Recognizing the ability of others to understand thoughts but emphasizing emotional guardedness.
But my heart is harder to find
Indicating emotional resistance or difficulty in opening up and sharing one's true feelings.
Worry and trouble
Acknowledging the presence of worries and challenges in the world.
The world's in despair
Expressing a sense of global despair and turmoil.
Give me a song and it all disappears
Highlighting the therapeutic nature of music in coping with worries and troubles.
That's the way I like it, babe
Reiterating the preference for a musical escape from life's difficulties.
That's the way I do
Emphasizing the consistency of the chosen path and artistic approach.
That's the way I like it, babe
Reiterating the satisfaction derived from living and creating music in a certain way.
That's the way I do
Stressing the continuity and stability of the preferred lifestyle and creative process.
