lyrics
Well if I'm not who you think I am girl
Who are you waiting for
And if I'm not what you want in a man girl
I guess I can't give you more
But for me
There is no poverty
There's no excitment I wish to see
There's just love between you and me
And I see there's no place
I would rather be
There's only life and life only
And the love between you and me
And if I'm not like the other guys girl
I'll tell you just why that is
Cause your lookin at the world outside girl
What's hers and what is his
(Chorus)
Well if you can't be the way you are girl
Then who are you going to be
And if you become a big star girl
Will you still keep me company
