To Love Me

I just want somebody to love me
just the way I am
I don't want to change to satisfy
someone else's plan

I just want somebody to love me
is that too much to ask?
apparently so, cuz finding someone
seems an impossible task

I give and I give and I give some more
I give all I've got till it hurts
I'm used and abused and discarded (oh my)
but I just keep buying new shirts

I've been on the street, left out in the cold
and I live like a refugee
taking care of everyone else
wondering when someone will see
who I am, what I'm worth
and fall in love with me
I'll take care of you
will you take care of me?

I just want somebody to love me
just the way I am
I don't want to lie to anyone
for I am an honest man

I just want somebody to love me
is that an impossible dream?
apparently so, cuz finding someone
has not happened it seems

I see too much
I feel too much
I give too much
I want too much
I think too much
I play too much
I share too much
I care too much

I just want somebody to love me
just the way I am
I don't want to change to satisfy
someone else's plan

I just want somebody to love me
is that too much to ask?
apparently so, cuz finding someone
seems an impossible task

I just want somebody to love me
just the way I am
I don't want to lie to anyone
I am an honest man
just doing the best I can
too love and be loved is my only plan

I just want somebody to love me
just the way I am

I wonder if this rhyming expression is the me you know or is it my delusion?
Do all the words pouring out of my head create clarity or confusion
Only you know and I really would like to know your perspective
I'm used to not knowing but it is really not a fun way to live

I just want somebody to love me
someone to understand
I just want somebody to love me
just the way I am
