Bobby Bare - That's How I Wanted It To Be lyrics

rate me

I thought I'd like to lead the bachelor life for a while

Live alone and have some fun

So I told her to take the kids and go back to her 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 her 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...

That's how I wanted it to be
