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.
