You tell me that I`m falling down
A drifter with no role
You tell me that I need a friend
To help me take control

Well let it be I`m not alone
I`m only lonely see
And you can`t tell me where to go
Or what or who to be

I am exactly what I am
And not the way you`d like to see me be
I look outside long as I can
Then I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me

I may not lead the simple life
I`ve no love of my own
If no one gives me all his heart
I`ll manage with a loan

I`m very used to feeling sad
It doesn`t make me cry
And yes I do know how to love
And what you say`s a lie

I am exactly what I am
And not the way you`d like to see me be
I look outside long as I can
Then I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me

You tell me that I`m falling down
A drifter with no role
You tell me that I need a friend
To help me take control

Well let it be I`m not alone
I`m only lonely see
And you can`t tell me where to go
Or what or who to be

I am exactly what I am
And not the way you`d like to see me be
I look outside long as I can
Then I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me
