Down in the dungeon i'm having a hard time

I get my love on condition and my dewar's without lime

Up in the tower you're countin' the fault lines

(i say) i am who i am---whadda you want from me





Long distance warfare from over the phone lines

Terminal airfare--i'm crossin' the red line

Can't tell the diff'rence 'tween a "wait" and a "walk" sign

But you know who i am---whadda you want from me (nah yeah)





You preach forgiveness but once in a dog's day

Naw but nobody listens to everything you say

You want the business, ya have it your own way

But you know who i am---whadda you want from me





Now i can't see no maybe, i can't see it at all

I seen through you baby, you wanna have it all...you take me to the wall

(ow!)





Whadda you want from me...





(i said)you know who i am---whadda you want

I done what i can---take what you want

I am who i am---whadda you want from me
