Johnny Clegg, Savuka - I Can Never Be (What You Want Me To Be) Lyrics

A shooting star across my sky
I wanted to keep you in my heaven
I will be anything you want I said
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 just to make you stay
Oh but it could never be that way cause

I can never be what you want
I can never be what you want me to be
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 get out here alive cause

I can never be what you want
I can never be what you want me to be
I can never be what you want
I can never be what you want me to be
I have sailed you're impossible ocean
I have sailed you're crazy sea
I can never be what you want,
Whatever you want me to be

There is a spirit rising, rising against what I have become
I have to come out and choose to stay or 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 ( Take me for what I am )

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

Be, I can be, I can never be
Be, I can be, I can never be
Be, I can be, I can never be ( I can never be what you want )
Be, I can be, I can never be ( I can never be what you want me to be )
Be, I can be, I can never be ( I can never be what you want )
Be, I can be, I can never be ( I can never be what you want me to be )
Be, I can be, I can never be ( I can never be what you want )
Be, I can be, I can never be ( I can never be what you want me to be )
Be, I can be, I can never be ( I can never be what you want )
Be, I can be, I can never be ( I can never be what you want me )
