I am what I am, I'm not ashamed.
I have no fortunes attached to fame.
A working man I'll probably die.
Blue collared shirt without a tie.
I can't give you riches beyond your dreams.
But I promise you I'll never scream.
Baby take my hand for who I am.
I'll love you always, it's not a sham.
I'll be there forever, until the end.
I can't buy us a mansion for all our kin.
But baby I promise only you I'll hold.
I've no diamonds to offer, nor any gold.
My love is all I have, all I can give.
Growing old, together we'll live.
A smile on your face and a kiss on your cheek,
Love so strong, it makes me weak.
I am what I am, that's all I can be,
But baby please, just love me for me.
