Whatever I Am (You Made Me)

I was an innocent child
Till you taught me your style
You got me doin' things
That I’d never have done
Don’t criticize me, save me
'Cause whatever I am you made me
Whatever I got you gave me
I’m tryin' to hang on
Because my love is so strong
You got me doin' things
That you know I’d never have done
I say don’t criticize me, save me
'Cause whatever I am you made me
Whatever I got you gave me
Well, I’m tryin' to be good
Like a woman can be
But you kept on talking that talk to me
And as soon as I fell you put me down
And now you got 'em talking 'bout me
All over this town
You know I can’t can’t eat a bite
And I can’t sleep at night
'Cause you got me doin' things
That you know ain’t right
Don’t criticize me, save me
'Cause whatever I am you made me
Whatever I got you gave me
Whatever I am you made me
Whatever I got you gave me
You know, you did it
Don’t patronize me
Don’t over-analyze
Don’t critizice me
Just save
You did it, you did it
You did it and you know it
