Lyrics for Song: That's How I Wanted It to Be
Lyrics for Album: The Streets of Baltimore [RCA Victor] [1966]
(Chip Taylor - Al Gordoni)
I thought I'd like to leave the black side of life for a while
Live alone and have some fun
So I told them to take the kids and go back to their mama
(That's how I wanted it to be) and I felt satisfied it was done.
I wake up every morning, make myself a cup of Jay
Down to the factory that's where I spend my day
Five o'clock the whistle blows and that leaves the evening free
That's how I wanted it to be.
Well, it didn't take me long to find out just how much I needed her
So I wrote and told them to take the kids
And come on back home 'cause I was ready to settle down now
Well, you see I just got her letter today.
And it seems she's found someone else, someone she can depend on
(That's how I wanted it to be) and she ain't comin' home no more.
I wake up every morning, make myself a cup of Jay
Down to the factory that's where I spend my day
Five o'clock the whistle blows and that leaves the evening free
That's how I wanted it to be.
That's how I wanted it to be...
