Lyrics

"You are what you are"

All we ever wanted was an avenue
guess you really want to see it through
only ordinary everyday heros
if I told you that I love you would it be
to bold

But I know what you are
leaving me with all my scars
pretending ain't all you got
hope you get the things you want

Only wanted to hear the news
of our sons and our daughters all around you
any time it would have been enough
instead you smile and you wink
and say you like it rough

But I know what you are
leaving me with all my scars
pretending ain't all you got
hope you get the things you want

Bet'cha wanna be my girl
when you see you like I see yourself
your eyes will twirl
if you're following another faded line
don't hafta take a number 'cause I got the time

Seems I'm getting a little attitude
as I come waltzing through this crowded room
everybody knowing something that I don't
but there's some things that I wish I didn't
ever know

But I know what you are
leaving me with all my scars
pretending ain't all you got
hope you get the things you want
