Love Me, Love the Life I Lead (takes 1, 2, 4) Songtext
von Elvis Presley

I am not a wise man neither am I a fool
But what I am, the way the good Lord made me
Though I need you more than you may ever understand
I can′t wear a face that will betray me, oh

If you're gonna love me, love the life I lead
Need the things I need, don′t try to change me
If you're gonna take me, take me for what I am
I can't be another man, I can′t be free
′Cause the life I lead is the life I lead

If you're gonna love me, love the life I lead
Need the things I need, don′t try to change me
If you're gonna take me, take me for what I am
I can't be another man, I can′t be free
′Cause the life I lead is the life I lead

Oh, if you're gonna love me, love the life I lead
Need the things I need, don′t try to change me
If you're gonna take me, take me for what I am
I can′t be another man, can't be free
′Cause the life I lead is the life I lead

Now, if you're gonna love me, love the life I lead
Need the things I need, don't try to change me
Now, if you′re gonna take me, take me for what I am
I can′t be another man, I can't be free
′Cause the life I...
