Lyrics

Who' s child am I gonna be tonight?
Who' s bed am I gonna sleep in tonight?
You told the other ones
I was your brother's child (brother's child)
You told the ones
I was your sister's child (sister's child)
Everytime they come in to the house
I got to change my name
Everytime they come in to the house
I got to change my identity
Whose child am I gonna be tonight?
As he walked away with tears in his eyes
I felt every pain that he felt
I cried every tear that he cried
Mama why?.....

Chorus:
I wish you could love me the way I am
I wish you could love me

Whose dogs are gonna be my friends tonight?
Whose bin am I gonna eat out of tonight?
The welfare people when they come
To the house you told me to say nothing
Every time they wanna take me away
You say everything is alright
Who's bins am I gonna eat out of tonight?
As he walked away with tears in his eyes
I felt every pain that he felt
I cried every tear that he cried
Mama why?......

Chorus:
I wish you could love me the way I am
I wish you could love me
