'That's How You Want It To Be' marks a return to bluesy roots for Brisbane's Port Royal who have emerged as one of Australia's most prominent rising independent acts in the past 2 years.

The music video for 'That's How You Want It To Be' premiered on the ABC program 'rage' in its first week of release and clocked just over 2K streams on Spotify during it's first 48 hours of release.
lyrics
VERSE 1
Call me out, call my bluff
Tell me that the love I’m giving ain’t enough
Play it cool, that’s alright,
You ain’t the only one to keep me up tonight
Think you’re smooth, say you’re tough
But honey you ain’t ever done it in the rough
Placing bets, on my time
I ain’t another lover waiting in line
PRE-CHORUS
So give me all the reason that you wanted
I ain’t gonna be your fool
CHORUS
Yeah, I’m gonna sell it to you babe,
Want you to give it to me
Ain’t gonna play to your rules babe
If that’s how you want it to be
Yeah, I’m gonna sell it to you babe,
Want you to give it to me
Ain’t gonna play to your rules babe
If that’s how you want it, that’s how you want it, that’s how you want it to be
VERSE 2
Lies are sweet, truth unkind
I want to love you but you’re leading me blind
I don’t care, you can cry
And I’ll let you know when you’re crossing that line
Ours a tale, can’t be told
And honey it ain’t gonna ever grow
Placing bets, on my time
I ain’t another lover waiting in line
CHORUS
Yeah, I’m gonna sell it to you babe,
Want you to give it to me
Ain’t gonna play to your rules babe
If that’s how you want it to be
Yeah, I’m gonna sell it to you babe,
Want you to give it to me
Ain’t gonna play to your rules babe
If that’s how you want it, that’s how you want it, that’s how you want it to be
BRIDGE
We romance this mess together, uh oh
But still the light don’t seem to die
And it plays quite the test, to move along and not crave the best
That’s you babe, that’s you, I’m gonna sell it to you
CHORUS/OUTRO
Yeah, I’m gonna sell it to you babe,
Want you to give it to me
Ain’t gonna play to your rules babe
If that’s how you want it to be
Yeah, I’m gonna sell it to you babe,
Want you to give it to me
Ain’t gonna play to your rules babe
If that’s how you want it, that’s how you want it, that’s how you want it to be
Yeah, that’s how you want it to be
That’s how you want it to be
That’s how you want it to be
That’s how you want it, that’s how you want it, that’s how you want it to be
That’s how you want it to be
That’s how you want it to be
That’s how you want it, that’s how you want it, that’s how you want it to be
