My hair is long and my clothes ain't new
And I don't got no colored shoes
But I can be the one you love

I know the rumors are all 'round town
'Bout how the law is one step behind
But I can be the one you love
Yes, I can be the one you love

And I (I) can be the one you play with like a toy
If you like
And I (I) can be the one you stay with for all time
If you try hard enough

I know that so much can be improved
But all I need is some edges smoothed
And I can be the one you love

And I (I) can be the one you play with like a toy
If you like
And I (I) can be the one you stay with for all time
If you try hard enough

My hair is long and my clothes ain't new
And all I've got is these rubber shoes
But I can be the one you love
Yes, I can be the one you love
Yes, I can be the one you love
