lyrics
Now, I'm not saying that I'm the best
Or that I'm better than anybody else
'cause there's all kinds of people in this world
and some of them are not very good
and some of them are very good
and I'm just the kind of guy that I like.
I'm just the kind of guy that I like.
Well, I wanted to do a very simple song
but it turned out more complicated
than I thought it would be.
Well, it seems with the way things are right now,
it couldn't be anything different.
Well, it seems with the way things are right now,
it couldn't be anything different.
Now, I like to listen to the radio as much as anybody else, I suppose
but I can't keep the same station on all day long.
I like to skip around, have a little variety.
That's just the kind of songs that I like.
Boom chick boom chick boom boom chick boom boom chick.
What I think is really funny is the fact that
someday I might be somebody's grandfather.
And it's kind of funny to think about somebody's grandpa
doing a song that goes like this.
I don't know why that seems so funny to me right now.
It probably wouldn't be very funny if you were my grandchild.
That's just my sense of humor.
Well, I may not be your ideal
or the person that you want me to be
or maybe I'm the kind of person you can't stand
But all in all, I don't have to answer to any of that.
'cause I know my own taste
And I'm just the kind of guy that I like.
I'm me and you're you
I'm me and you're you
I'm me and you're you
I'm just the kind of guy that I like.
I'm me and you're you
I'm me and you're you
I'm me and you're you
I'm just the kind of guy that I like.
Or that I'm better than anybody else
'cause there's all kinds of people in this world
and some of them are not very good
and some of them are very good
and I'm just the kind of guy that I like.
I'm just the kind of guy that I like.
