Johnny Clegg and 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!
