Whatever I Am, You Made Me - Koko Taylor

I was an innocent child

'Till you taught me your style

You got me doin' things

That I’d never have done

Don’t criticize me, save me

'Cause whatever I am, you made me

Whatever I got, you gave me

Whatever I am, you made me

Whatever I got, you gave me

I’m tryin' to hang on

Because my love is so strong

You got me doin' things

That you know I’d never have done

I say don’t criticize me, save me

'Cause whatever I am, you made me

Whatever I got, you gave me

Well, I’m tryin' to be good

Like a woman can be

But you kept on talking, talk to me

And as soon as I fell, you put me down

And now you got 'em talking 'bout me

All over this town

You know I can’t, can’t eat a bite

And I can’t sleep at night

'Cause you got me doin' things

That you know ain’t right

Don’t criticize me, save me

Whatever I am, you made me

Whatever I got, you gave me

Whatever I am, you made me

Whatever I got, you gave me
