Blue ain't just a word Lord it's a feeling

Feeling of loneliness that I can feel right now

Love has looked at me but tried to change me

I wished that love would take me just for what I am.



Just for what I am I want someone to love me

Someone who won't expect me to feel like that old mem'ry

Just for what they see just for being me

I want someone to love me just for what I am.



Cry ain't just a sound it's a sadness

Sadness that lives with me and follows me around

Love wants me to be someone I can't be

I wished that love would take me just for what I am.



Just for what I am I need someone to love me

Someone who won't expect me to feel like that old mem'ry

Just for what they see just for being me

I want someone to love me just for what I am...
