  • You have been single for a long time
    And I don't wanna cramp your style
    Still you insist you want to settle down
    But I know better
    You can't change years overnight
    And asking that, I would never do
    So here is the solution that comes to mind

    As long as I can be your number one
    You still can have your fun
    Whenever you need love
    I will give it to you just the way you like it
    You keep your other girls until you settle down
    Whenever you get bored
    I will give it to you just the way you like it

    I have never had a guy
    Who has as many girls as you
    But numbers cannot take the place of quality
    I have no doubt by this decision to see us through
    And my love is so strong for you
    And by your side, I always will remain

    As long as i can be your number one
    You still can have your fun
    Whenever you need love
    I will give it to you just the way you like it
    You keep your other girls until you settle down
    Whenever you get bored
    I will give it to you just the way you like it

    Just the way you like it
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    Just the way you like it
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

    If you plan on loving me for a lifetime
    It doesn't matter what you do
    With other girls, they just can't change your mind, oh no
    'Cause when you're tired of them, you'll come back to me
    (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) I won't tie you down
    (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) You can play around
    (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh) 'Cause you'll know where the best love is found
    Right here

    As long as I can be your number one
    (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
    You still can have your fun (Ooh, ooh)
    Whenever you need love
    I will give it to you just the way you like it
    You keep your other girls (Oh, oh, oh)
    Until you settle down (Till you settle down)
    Whenever you get bored
    I will give it to you just the way you like it

    (As long as I can be your number one,) Any way you need it
    (You still can have your fun) Any way you want it
    (Whenever you need love) Anytime, anywhere
    Just for you, I'll be there
    (You keep your other girls) Any way you need it
    (Until you settle down) Any way you like it
    (Whenever you get bored) I'll be there on the case
    Put a smile on your face (Just the way you like it)
    (As long as I can be your number one,) Just the way you need it
    (You still can have your fun) Just the way you want it
    (Whenever you need love) I will give it to you just the way
    Just the way you like it
    (You keep your other girls)
    Yeah

    As long as I can be your number one (Oh, oh, oh)
    You still can have your fun
    Whenever you need love
    I will give it to you just the way you like it
    You keep your other girls (You keep, you keep, you keep your other girls)
    Until you settle down
    Whenever you get bored
    I will give it to you just the way you like it (As long as I)

    Just the way you like it
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    Just the way you like it, boy
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    Ow

    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
