Love Me (The Way I Am) Lyrics
Who' s child am I gonna be tonight?
Who' s bed am I gonna sleep in tonight?
You told the other ones
I was your brother's child
You told the ones
I was your sister's child
Everytime they come to the house
I got to change my name
Everytime they come to the house
I got to change my identity
Whose child am I gonna be tonight?
As he walked away with tears in his eyes
I felt every pain that he felt
I cried every tear that he cried
Mama why?......
[Chorus:]
I wish you could love me the way I am
Whose dogs are gonna be my friends tonight?
Whose bin am I gonna eat out of tonight?
The welfare people when they come
To the house you told me to say nothing
Every time they want to take me away
You say everything is alright
who's bins am I gonna eat out of tonight?
As he walked away with tears in his eyes
I felt every pain that he felt
I cried every tear that he cried
Mama why?.......
[Chorus:]
I wish you could love me the way I am
Who' s bed am I gonna sleep in tonight?
You told the other ones
I was your brother's child
You told the ones
I was your sister's child
Everytime they come to the house
I got to change my name
Everytime they come to the house
I got to change my identity
Whose child am I gonna be tonight?
As he walked away with tears in his eyes
I felt every pain that he felt
I cried every tear that he cried
Mama why?......
I wish you could love me the way I am
Whose bin am I gonna eat out of tonight?
The welfare people when they come
To the house you told me to say nothing
Every time they want to take me away
You say everything is alright
who's bins am I gonna eat out of tonight?
As he walked away with tears in his eyes
I felt every pain that he felt
I cried every tear that he cried
Mama why?.......
I wish you could love me the way I am

Great song, great instrumentation arrangements and good awesome lyrics. The song's theme is about a a kid yearning for his or her (single) parent's love. The parent in my opinion is a single mother who entertains men and pretends the kid is not her child. She can't let the kid go despite her actions showing that she doesn't love the kid. The kid is confused and often sleeps outside the house
