I learned all the rules to the games they play But no matter how I tried well it's just not my way I don't believe in just puttin' on a smile For a no time of day man, well it's just not my style (Chorus) I'm not gonna say I don't know how to bend I been chewed up and spit out by my best friends It's been a tough livin' but I'm getting by And I won't complain no, well it's just my style I've seen all stages every young man takes And lessons I've learned, I learned 'em all by mistake When it was bad it got real bad but now I know how to fight And you won't knock me down no; well it's just not my style (Chorus) (Solo) (Chorus) Well it's just not my style (3X)
