Bilingual
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
People like us
(Who will answer the telephone)
People like us
(Growing 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
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
(Are gonna make it because)
We don't want freedom
We don't want justice
We just want someone to love.
Someone to love
What good is freedom?
God laughs at people like us
I see it coming
Like 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 waitin' 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
(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.
Someone to love.
Someone to love.
