(Words & music by MaCauley - Greenaway)
I am not a wise man neither am I a fool
But 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
´Cos The life I lead is the life I lead

Money in my pocket never seems to last too long
I´ve gambled on the way and drowned my sorrows
Though God knows I can´t pretend it´s better on my own
I can´t promise you a new tomorrow

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
´Cos The life I lead is the life I lead
