[Verse 1] In 1950 when I was born Papa couldnt afford to buy us much He said be proud of what you are Theres 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 Gonna make it because We dont want freedom We dont want justice We just want someone to love Someone to love [Verse 2] I was called upon in the 3rd grade class I gave my answer and it caused a fuss Im not the same as evryone else And times were hard for people like us [Chorus] People like us Who will answer the telephone People like us Growing as big as a house People like us Gonna make it because We dont want freedom We dont 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 coming 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 Gonna make it because We dont want freedom We dont want justice We just want someone to love [Outro] Someone to love Someone to love, heyheyhey Someone to love
