Bilingual
I deserve a little kindness
I deserve my due respect
I deserve to be beloved
Just like everybody else
I deserve my place in heaven
I deserve an equal share
I deserve my rightful cut
Of everything, everywhere
God, Roxanne, am I asking for too much?
Why should I have to beg for what everybody wants?
Take me right now, I don't care
If I have your love, I'll have no fear
Nothing's even, nothing's fair
Roxanne, I didn't ask to be here
I'll pick the lock, I'll draw the knife
I'll climb the wall, I'll crash the gate
'Cause I deserve a happy life
Whatever I'm not given, I'll take
God, Roxanne, am I asking for too much?
Why should I have to beg for what everybody wants?
I deserve a little kindness
I deserve my due respect
I deserve to be beloved
Just like everybody else
God gave me the life I'm living
You better make no mistake
I deserve to be forgiven
Whatever I'm not given, I'll take
