| I been cheated, been mistreated
|
| Ain’t ashamed of whatever I’ve been
|
| Seen the good times, lived the bad times
|
| Now I’m looking at the shape I’m in
|
| Ain’t got no money, ain’t got no degree
|
| But I got me somebody, she’s taking care of me
|
| And she told me that she wants me
|
| Again and again and again and again and a-
|
| She understands the way I am
|
| I can see it in her eyes
|
| She never tried to make me cry
|
| She wants me for the way I am
|
| I used to be so that I did not know
|
| Take the chances when they came my way
|
| Now I live like there’s no tomorrow
|
| And what is gone belongs to yesterday
|
| Don’t got no big car, ain’t got no jet plane
|
| But I got me that one thing they can never take away
|
| 'Cos she told me that she loves me
|
| Over and over and over and over and
|
| She understands the way I am
|
| I can see it in her eyes
|
| She never tried to make me cry
|
| She wants me for the way I am
|
| Well I ain’t got everything money can buy
|
| But I’ve got everything that I need to get by
|
| 'Cos she told me that she loves me
|
| Forever and ever and ever and ever and
|
| She understands the way I am
|
| I can see it in her eyes
|
| She never tried to make me cry
|
| She loves the way I am
|
| She understands the way I am
|
| I can see it in her eyes
|
| She never tried to make me cry
|
| She wants me for the way I am |
