That's The Way (i Like It) (2004 Remaster) Lyrics - K.c. And The Sunshine Band

Emily comes home from school, 

grabs onto her daddy's hand, 

he says "baby girl what's wrong with you?" 

she says "please don't make me go back there again" 

She said "I wish there was some way 

to make them stop it" 

so he drives down to 

that principles ofice and says 

"I didn't bring her up 

so they could cut her down 

I didn't bring her here 

so they could shut her out 

I live my whole damn life 

to see that little girl smile 

so why are tears pouring down 

that sweet face? 

she wasn't brought up that way"

Emily's home late again 

he sees that boy drive away 

oh but something different this time, 

she doesn't have too much to say 

she said "he tried but 

there's just some things I won't do" 

and through the tears 

she said "I couldn't do that to you" 

and he said 

"I didn't bring you up 

so he could wear 

you down 

take that innocent heart 

and turn it inside out 

I live my whole damn life 

to see my little girl's smile 

so don't let nobody take that away, 

you werny brought up that way"

The phone ring on a rainy night 

says "it's officer tate" 

he said "sir there's been an accident, 

you better come down here right away, 

a drunken driver missed an over pass, 

and emily, she's fading fast" 

he says "god, I didn't bring her up 

to watch them lay her down 

nearly killed me today, 

they put her own 

momma in the ground 

only thing that ket me alive, 

was that little girl's smile 

so please don't take that away, 

I won't be easy taking her today, 

she wasn't brought up that way" 

He stands over the hospital bed 

Emily opens her eyes
