Elvis Presley - Love Me, Love The Life I Lead lyrics

(words & music by macauley - greenaway) 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
