That's How I Wanted It To Be

(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...

Mirror lyrics:

That's how I wanted it to be...

That's how I wanted it to be.
Five o'clock the whistle blows and that leaves the evening free
Down to the factory that's where I spend my day
I wake up every morning, make myself a cup of Jay

(That's how I wanted it to be) and she ain't comin' home no more.
And it seems she's found someone else, someone she can depend on
Well, you see I just got her letter today.
And come on back home 'cause I was ready to settle down now
So I wrote and told them to take the kids
Well, it didn't take me long to find out just how much I needed her

That's how I wanted it to be.
Five o'clock the whistle blows and that leaves the evening free
Down to the factory that's where I spend my day
I wake up every morning, make myself a cup of Jay

(That's how I wanted it to be) and I felt satisfied it was done.
So I told them to take the kids and go back to their mama
Live alone and have some fun
I thought I'd like to leave the black side of life for a while
