Lyrics The Way That I Am - Sons Of Zion

You want my love all to yourself
But I can't help you, babe
It's not that I don't have enough
In fact, I'm overflowing, yeah
So why would I hold it
Just squeeze it in the palm of my hand
When I can share it all around and make the world smile
'Cause you know I ain't a selfish man

Oh, no
'Cause Momma told me, share what you have
Don't be greedy
(Greedy, greedy)
And Poppa said, give all that you can
So I am, yeah

I'm not trying to tease ya
I'm just trying to make you understand
It's just the way that I am (it's just the way)
It's just the way that I am (it's just the way, it's just the way)
And I'm not lying to please ya
I'm just trying to make you understand
It's just the way that I am (it's just the way)
It's just the way that I am (it's just the way, hey, hey, hey, hey)

(Hey, hey, hey)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)

I know you're looking for somebody that's perfect
You deserve it
Well, I don't mean to bust your bubble, or cause you any trouble
Your perfection is exactly, babe
Don't get me wrong
I want nothing less
Then to fill you up with happiness
But girl, I gotta confess, keeping those smiles from the rest
Well, don't that make us seem a little selfish

Yeah
'Cause Momma told me, share what you have
Don't be greedy
(Greedy, greedy)
Oh, and Poppa said, give all that you can
So I am, yeah

I'm not trying to tease ya
I'm just trying to make you understand
It's just the way that I am (it's just the way)
It's just the way that I am,
It's just the way that I am, yeah, yeah, yeah
And I'm not lying to please ya
I'm just trying to make you understand
It's just the way that I am (it's just the way)
It's just the way that I am (it's just the way, hey, hey, hey, hey)

Hey, hey, hey, hey
(Hey, hey, hey)

Call it nature or nurture, girl, I don't mean to hurt you, no
Said it might not be perfect, but I'll make it worth it
If you stay, if you stay with me
Baby, lay with me, lay with me
Ooh, just ride with me, ride with me
Spend some time with me, time with me

I'm not trying to tease ya
I'm just trying to make you understand
It's just the way that I am (it's just the way that I am)
It's just the way that I am (it's just the way, it's just the way)
And I'm not lying to please ya
I'm just trying to make you understand
It's just the way that I am (it's just the way)
It's just the way that I am (it's
Just the way, it's just the way, yeah)
