Story Behind The Song

This "bad boy" is trying very hard to be good - But it's not quite working out for him. In one last ditch effort to keep this girl from falling for him (and suffering the consequences!), he tells her about the type of guy he is - that he is "that kind of guy," the one that she had been warned about. He gives her fair warning in the hopes that this will hold her at bay - but he won't be responsible for what happens next if she doesn't heed the warning...

Song Description

Funkier pop ... He's a bad boy - but he gives fair warning. He's not responsible for what may happen next.

Lyrics

THAT KIND OF GUY

Remember baby
You’ve been warned

I know you think I’m a different kind of man
I know they talk about the things I do
I know you’ve heard all those wild, wild stories now
Baby, they’re all true

And if you’re sure of the things you wanna do
And if you think I’m the guy in your dreams
Don’t be fooled, if you know what’s good for you
Things aren’t what they seem

And if you think that you can melt this ice
I’m not Mr. Nice
Sorry, sorry

When you see the sun come blazing through my eyes
If you see my face at night when you fantasize
If you’re not lookin’ for fun, I’m not the one
When you feel me ride on in and storm through
Don’t you ever say that I didn’t warn you
No one here can deny
That I’m that kind of guy

All your friends say that you should stay away
To tell the truth, they seem a bit uptight
You’ve heard them say that I only wanna play
Who knows, they may be right

And you think I’m here for what you felt
You’re thinkin’ someone else
Sorry, sorry

When you see the stars are shining in my eyes
When you know that I’m the one you’ll idolize
And if you’re not gonna try, just walk on by
If you can’t control the passion that you feel
If your soul is heating up, it’s so unreal
All the rules just don’t apply
Cuz I’m that kind of guy

Your warning lights are on
Alarms and caution gone
As I move closer still to you
Proceed at your own risk
But still remember this
You won’t control the things you do
Sorry, sorry
You’ll be sorry

When you see the sun come blazing through my eyes
If you see my face at night when you fantasize
If you’re not lookin’ for fun, I’m not the one
When you feel me ride on in and storm through
Don’t you ever say that I didn’t warn you
No one here can deny

When you see the stars are shining in my eyes
When you know that I’m the one you’ll idolize
And if you’re not gonna try, just walk on by
If you can’t control the passion that you feel
If your soul is heating up, it’s so unreal
All the rules just don’t apply
Cuz I’m that kind of guy
I’m that kind of guy
