I want somebody who will love me for what I am.

I tried so hard to please you, I didn't do much good, cause now you say you're leaving; I did the best I could.
 Well, I don't know what you're looking for, all I know is that you want more and that's alright I understand, I want somebody who will love me for what I am.

You say you want your freedom; you know I'm not that kind to hold you back from leaving or try to change your mind.  
Now I don't know what you're looking for, all I know is that you want more, and that's alright, I understand, I want somebody who will love me for what I am.

True love knows no reason, true love has no rhyme, there's no time for grieving when my hearts on the line.

Don't need your explanation, now don't apologize, I failed your expectations, so let's just say goodbye, bye bye, bye.
 I don't know what you're looking for, all I know is that you want more, and that's alright I understand, I want somebody who will love me for what I am.  Love me for what I am. Love me for what I am.

What I Am MP3. Recorded by: First Crossing

This is a song that many people can relate to.  Growing up in a small town that doesn't have much to offer career or entertainment wise gives a person the urge to hit the road, explore the world and reflect on past mistakes.

This was our covid, social distancing song.

Being nine years old was a lot of fun, I remember building a car.
Dad took wheels off a baby buggy, I got wood from the barn.
Yea, we worked hard to do it right, most the day and half of the night.
Dad say "son, when we get done, this baby's gonna fly".

It was going good as that go cart began to fall into place.
I was getting so excited, couldn't wait for a race.
But before too long I grew bored and tired, told dad "I wanted to quit".
Dad said "son there's a lesson here, if you listen this is it".

We gotta make it go, no matter what it takes.  
We gave a lot of sweat and blood, and made our share of mistakes.
But if we quit now and walk away before we get on the road.
We'll never know real joy in life, we gotta make it go.

I was twenty-one when I met Jolene, she was the love of my life.
I knew I couldn't live without her, planned to make her my wife.
So deep in love with peace and happiness, my whole world was serene.
I felt like a brand new man when I was with Jolene.

In a moment's time pride and selfishness poisoned two loving hearts.
All we did was hurt each other, we'd be better a part.
Now an angry man filled with bitterness, I decided to leave.
Something clicked inside my head, dad's words came back to me.

We gotta make it go, no matter what it takes.  
We gave a lot of sweat and blood, and made our share of mistakes.
But if we quit now and walk away before we get on the road.
We'll never know real joy in life, we gotta make it go.

Tonight we tucked our son in bed, our eyes lit up like the stars.
When he asked me "daddy, would you help me build a car?

We gotta make it go, no matter what it takes.  
We gave a lot of sweat and blood, and made our share of mistakes.
But if we quit now and walk away before we get on the road.
We'll never know real joy in life, we gotta make it go.
We gotta make it go....................

Make It Go! ©

You sit here every day in wonder waiting for the one who will
take the "only" out of "lonely", someone you can love.
Who will put their arms around you when each trying day is done.

Little do you know how much I want you.  Little do you know how I care.
When the big bad wolf knocks on your door, I'll be there.
You can think that I don't really mean it. You can even say "it isn't so".
But, baby, baby, baby, little do you know?

So go to London, go to Paris, fly around the world. You can
dive into the deep blue sea while searching for that pearl.
Just don't overlook the treasure that's right here in front of you.

Little do you know how much I want you.  Little do you know how I care.
When the big bad wolf knocks on your door, I'll be there.
You can think that I don't really mean it. You can even say "it isn't so".
But, baby, baby, baby, little do you know?

So come to me, run to me, don't you hesitate.
Everything that you desire is right here where your true love waits.

Little do you know how much I want you.  Little do you know how I care.
When the big bad wolf knocks on your door, I'll be there.
You can think that I don't really mean it. You can even say "it isn't so".
But, baby, baby, baby, little do you know?

Music Break!

Little do you know how much I want you,
Little do you know how much I care.
When the big bad wolf knocks on your door, I’ll be there.
You can think that I don’t really mean it, you can even say it isn’t so.
But, baby, baby, baby… Little do you know.
Baby, baby, baby. Baby, baby, baby...........
Little do you know.
