In 1950 when I was born
|
Papa couldn't afford to buy us much
|
He said be proud of what you are
|
There's something special 'bout people like us
|
|
People like us
|
(Who will answer the telephone)
|
People like us
|
(Growing as big as a house)
|
People like us
|
(Gonna make it because)
|
|
We don't want freedom
|
We don't want justice
|
We just want someone to love.
|
Someone to love.u
|
I was called upon in the 3rd grade class
|
I gave my answer and it caused a fuss
|
I'm not the same as ev'ryone else
|
And times were hard for people like us
|
|
People like us
|
(Who will answer the telephone)
|
People like us
|
(Growing as big as a house)
|
People like us
|
(Gonna make it because)
|
|
What good is freedom?
|
God laughs at people like us
|
I see it coming
|
Like coming down from above
|
|
The clouds roll by and the moon comes up
|
How long must we live in the heat of the sun
|
Millions of people are waitin' on love
|
And this is a song about people like us
|
|
People like us
|
(Who answe the telephone)
|
People like us
|
(Growing big as a house)
|
People like us
|
(Gonna make it because)
|
We don't want freedom
|
We don't want justice
|
We just want someone to love.
|
|
Someone to love.
|
Someone to love.
|
Someone to love.
