Love Me (the Way I Am) Lyrics - Lucky Dube

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 wanna take me away 

You say everything is alright 

Whos 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
