The Way I Am
Black and white
Im never right
I could tell you a tale
The bread on the table is stale
Shut up and listen
This is where I begin
I am the only one like me
No one else could ever be
What I am
Who are you anyway
Could you take me away
Im sorry, I got off track
Could we get back
This is what you want to learn
This is whay you yearn
Lust, trust
Mix 'em together and they'll
Emotionally combust
I am all the things you want
I am everything
TAKE ME
The way I am
BREAK ME
Of the way I am
TAKE A HOLD OF
My hand
This is where we stand
This is when we begin
We are the way we are for a purpose
This whole blasted world is a circus
Screw it!
Screw this!
If you want me
Take me
The way I am
Be a man
Not even kryptonite can scare me
Im begging on my knees
Don't make me do this
I really am new to this
Oh, God!
What have I done?
Just the way I am.
Trust me as I am.
Love me . . . If you can.
