The Way I Am - Status Quo

I been cheated, been mistreated

Ain’t ashamed of whatever I’ve been

Seen the good times, lived the bad times

Now I’m looking at the shape I’m in

Ain’t got no money, ain’t got no degree

But I got me somebody, she’s taking care of me

And she told me that she wants me

Again and again and again and again and a-

She understands the way I am

I can see it in her eyes

She never tried to make me cry

She wants me for the way I am

I used to be so that I did not know

Take the chances when they came my way

Now I live like there’s no tomorrow

And what is gone belongs to yesterday

Don’t got no big car, ain’t got no jet plane

But I got me that one thing they can never take away

'Cos she told me that she loves me

Over and over and over and over and

She understands the way I am

I can see it in her eyes

She never tried to make me cry

She wants me for the way I am

Well I ain’t got everything money can buy

But I’ve got everything that I need to get by

'Cos she told me that she loves me

Forever and ever and ever and ever and

She understands the way I am

I can see it in her eyes

She never tried to make me cry

She loves the way I am

She understands the way I am

I can see it in her eyes

She never tried to make me cry

She wants me for the way I am
