In nineteen fifty
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
People like us
who will answer
the telephone
People like us
growing big as a house
People like us
gonna make it because
we don't want freedom
we don't want justice
We just want
someone to love
Someone to love
I was called upon
in the third grade class
I gave my answer
and it caused a fuss
I'm not the same
as everyone else
And times were hard
for people like us
People like us
who will answer
the telephone
People like us
growing big as a house
People like us
gonna make it because
we don't want freedom
we don't want justice
We just want
someone to love
Someone to love
Well now
what good is freedom
God laughs at
people like us
I see it coming
like a light coming
down from above
The clouds roll by
and the moon comes up
How long must we live
in the heat of the sun
Millions of people are
waiting on love
And this is a song about
people like us
People like us
who will answer
the telephone
People like us
growing big as a house
People like us
gonna make it because
we don't want freedom
we don't want justice
We just want
someone to love
Someone to love
Someone to love
Hey hey hey hey
Someone to love
