Love Me, Love the Life I Lead Lyrics

I am not a wise man, neither am I a fool
I′m what I am the way the good Lord made me
Though I need you more than you may ever understand
I can't wear a face that will betray me, oh

If you′re gonna love me, love the life I lead
Need the things I need, don't try to change me
If you're gonna take me, take me for what I am
I can′t be another man, I can′t be free
From the life I lead, from the life I lead

Money in my pocket never seems to last too long
I gamble on the wind and drown my sorrow
Though God knows I can't pretend it′s better on my own
I can't promise you a new tomorrow

If you′re gonna love me, love the life I lead
Need the things I need, don't try to change me
If you′re gonna take me, take me for what I am
I can't be another man, I can't be free
From the life I lead, from the life I lead

Oh, if you′re gonna love me, love the life I lead
Need the things I need, don′t try to change me
If you're gonna take me, take me for what I am
I can′t be another man, I can't be free
From the life I lead, from the life I lead
Oh, if you′re gonna love me, love the life I lead
Need the things I need
