[Verse 1]
In 1950 when I was born
Papa couldn't afford to buy us much
He said be proud of what you are
There's something special 'bout people like us
[Chorus]
People like us
(Who will answer the telephone)
People like us
(Growing as big as a house)
People like us
(Gonna make it because)
We don't want freedom
We don't want justice
We just want someone to love
Someone to love
[Verse 2]
I was called upon in the 3rd grade class
I gavе my answer and it caused a fuss
I'm not the samе as ev'ryone else
And times were hard for people like us
[Chorus]
People like us
(Who will answer the telephone)
People like us
(Growing as big as a house)
People like us
(Gonna make it because)
We don't want freedom
We don't want justice
We just want someone to love
Someone to love
[Bridge]
What good is freedom?
God laughs at people like us
I see it coming
Like a light coming down from above
[Verse 3]
The clouds roll by and the moon comes up
How long must we live in the heat of the sun
Millions of people are waitin' on love
And this is a song about people like us
[Chorus]
People like us
(Who will answer the telephone)
People like us
(Growing big as a house)
People like us
(Gonna make it because)
We don't want freedom
We don't want justice
We just want someone to love
[Outro]
Someone to love[x3]
