Love me, love the life i lead

Love me, love the life i lead Lyrics

(words & music by macauley - greenaway)
I am not a wise man neither am i a fool
But what i am the way the good lord made me
Though i need you more than you may ever understand
I can't wear a face that will betray me

Oh, if you're gonna love me, love the life i lead
Need the things i need, don't try to change me
If you're gonna take me, take me for what i am
I can't be another man, i can't be free
'cos the life i lead is the life i lead

Money in my pocket never seems to last too long
I've gambled on the way and drowned my sorrows
Though god knows i can't pretend it's better on my own
I can't promise you a new tomorrow

Oh, if you're gonna love me, love the life i lead
Need the things i need, don't try to change me
If you're gonna take me, take me for what i am
I can't be another man, i can't be free
'cos the life i lead is the life i lead
