Love Me (The Way I Am)

Lucky Dube · Soul Taker [2002]

Who' s child am I gonna be tonight?



Who' s bed am I gonna sleep in tonight?



You told the other ones



I was your brother's child



You told the ones



I was your sister's child



Everytime they come to the house



I got to change my name



Everytime they come to the house



I got to change my identity



Whose child am I gonna be tonight?



As he walked away with tears in his eyes



I felt every pain that he felt



I cried every tear that he cried



Mama why?......



Chorus:



I wish you could love me the way I am



Whose dogs are gonna be my friends tonight?



Whose bin am I gonna eat out of tonight?



The welfare people when they come



To the house you told me to say nothing



Every time they wanna take me away



You say everything is alright



Whos bins am I gonna eat out of tonight?



As he walked away with tears in his eyes



I felt every pain that he felt



I cried every tear that he cried



Mama why?.......



Chorus:



I wish you could love me the way I am
