In the glow of a street light
When the night cloaks her shame
She looks for love and the
Comfort of a hollow embrace
And though it offers her gold
And brief escape from the cold
She’s after something much more
Than simply warming her bones
She says
«a few lays, alleviate the sharp pangs of hunger
But a heartbeat’s still all I have»
And she says, «I want someone
To love me just the way I am Just the way I am»
She says, «I want someone beside me Whether lose or win
Through thick and thin»
In the blaze of the limelight
To unanimous pride
She outshines every diamond in a starlet’s sky
But she’s shrouded in darkness like a waning moon
She knows there’s much more to her than is seen by the world
She says, «I can’t find peace of mind
When nobody knows me And a heartthrob is all I am»
And she says
«I want someone to love me Just the way I am, just the way I am»
She says, «I want someone beside me Whether lose or win
Oh through thick and thin»
«When the light fades to night
Brings the cold rain and thunder
When a desert sun, is burning up Every drop of hope there under
Be an anchor in an ocean of change»
And she says
«I want someone to love me Just the way I am, just the way I am»
«Say to me, come on and say to me Say you’ll love me just the way I am Just the way I am Stay beside me whether lose or win
Oh through thick and thin»
