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
