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
