I Can Never Be what You Want Me To Be Lyrics by Johnny Clegg & Savuka

I Can Never Be what You Want Me To Be Lyrics

    Shooting star across my sky
    I wanted to keep you in my heaven
    "i will be anything you want!" i said
    "i will live into your dream just to see you smile"
    "be my baby -- i'll be your crusade
    Your clown-lover, renegade
    I'll be anything you want if it will make you stay"
    -- oh but it could never be that way cause:

    Chorus:
    I can never be what you want
    I can never be what you want me to be

    The great pretender inside your head
    A king wearing someone else's crown
    Sacrificed who i am so that this heart could be fed
    I spend so much time keeping myself underground
    You know i love you but i am shaking inside
    I know i'm not going to leave here alive 'cause:

    Chorus:
    I can never be what you want
    I can never be what you want me to be
    I have sailed this impossible ocean
    I have sailed this crazy sea
    I can never be what you want,
    Whatever you want me to be

    There is a spirit rising against what i have become
    I have to come out and choose to stay our make my run
    I'm slowly dying, i have to make a stand
    I'm coming home, you'll have to take me for what i am


    Chorus

    Be? i can never be!
    I can never be what you want!
    I can never be what you want me to be!
