That's the Way I Am

I know just who I be, I know just what I need Don't need no sympathy, I just want to live my life 'Cause life is so beautiful in my eyes I love the birds and bees all in the summer breeze Or chillin' at the beach, I love to enjoy my life Leave your stress and troubles behind That's the way I am and I don't give a damn If you really don't understand, cause I'm payin' my own rent And I never ask for sympathy All I want to know is if you're down with me So don't misunderstand, 'cause, that's just the way I am I know what's family, I know what's loyalty I know just how it feels for someone to love you right 'Cause life's so beautiful in my eyes I love expensive things, champagne and diamond rings But life without these things Is still a wonderful life, just be thankful you're alive I'm gonna live the way I live Enjoy my life, live positive And help someone who asks It's time well spend 'Cause that's the way that I am --- That's the Way I Am - Sarah Connor
