People Like Us

[Verse 1] 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" [Chorus] People like us Who will answer the telephone People like us Growing as big as a house People like us Are gonna make it because We don't want freedom We don't want justice We just want someone to love Someone to love [Verse 2] I was called upon in my third grade class I gavе my answer and it caused a fuss I'm not the samе as everyone else And times were hard for people like us [Chorus] People like us Who will answer the telephone People like us Growing big as a house People like us Are gonna make it because Well, we don't want freedom We don't want justice We just want someone to love Someone to love [Bridge] Well now, what good is freedom? God laughs at people like us I see it coming Like a light comin' down from above [Verse 3] The clouds roll by and the moon comes up How long must we live in the heat of the sun? Millions of people are waitin' on love And this is a song about people like us [Chorus] People like us Who will answer the telephone People like us Growing big as a house People like us We're gonna make it because We don't want freedom We don't want justice We just want someone to love Someone to love [Outro] Someone to love Someone to love
