Love me, love the life I lead

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 cant wear a face that will betray me
Oh, if youre gonna love me, love the life I lead
Need the things I need, dont try to change me
If youre gonna take me, take me for what I am
I cant be another man, I cant be free cos the life I lead is the life I lead
Money in my pocket never seems to last too long
Ive gambled on the way and drowned my sorrows
Though God knows I cant pretend its better on my own
I cant promise you a new tomorrow
Oh, if youre gonna love me, love the life I lead
Need the things I need, dont try to change me
If youre gonna take me, take me for what I am
I cant be another man, I cant be free cos the life I lead is the life I lead
