The Way That I Am

All of my life I tried to live it down
The family I love, they didnt come from the high side of town
And Ive never known any great fame or fortune
I will buy you a dress or a pretty necklace as soon as I can afford one
And I know you, I know you dont give a damn
And I love you cos you love me just the way that I am

And you know me, I aint as smart as they come
Some of your friends they probably just think Im just dumb
But baby you went to college, youre a genius youre so gorgeous
I look for peace and some form of release and finally I can afford it
And I know you, I know you dont give a damn
And I love you cos you love me just the way that I am
I love you cos you love me just the way that I am
