Intro: Verse: In 1950 when I was born Papa couldn't afford to buy us much He said be proud of what you are There's something special 'bout people like us People like us Who will answer the telephone People like us Growing big as a house People like us Gonna make it because We don't want freedom We don't want justice We just wa-a-a-ant someone to love Verse: I was called upon in the 3rd grade class I gave my answer and it caused a fuss I'm not the same as ev'ryone else And times were hard for people like us People like us (Who will answer the telephone) People like us (Growing big as a house) People like us (Gonna make it because) We don't want freedom We don't want justice We just want someone to love Someone to love Well now Bridge: What good is freedom? God laughs at people like us I see it coming Like a light coming down from above Verse: The clouds roll by and the moon comes up How long must we live in the heat of the sun Millions of people are waiting on love And this is a song about people like us People like us (Who will answer the telephone) People like us (Growing big as a house) People like us (Gonna make it because) We don't want freedom We don't want justice We just want someone to love. Someone to love Someone to love Hey hey hey hey Someone to love end on
