Verse 1
I'm jaded
And you're beautiful
I'm deluded
And envious of you
You're carin'
That I'm hurtin'
But I'm laughing 'cause I'm lyin'
And you believe what I say to be true
Chorus
This is the way God made me
Verse 2
(same as Verse 1)
No self-reliance
No social skills
You're confident
And you express yourself so well
You're learned
Degrees upon your wall
I'm jealous
No invitations to the ball
Chorus
(same as before but repeated)
This is the way God made me
This is the way God made me
Break
(repeat intro chords)
Verse 3
(same as before)
No self esteem
You're picture perfect
You walk about so contented
The trees call out your(freakin')name
You're clean and I'm so ignorant
I'm basic and I'm jaded
And my excuses are so lame
Chorus
(same as before - continue repeating)
This is the way God made me
This is the way God made me
This is the way God made me
I think this is just the way I'm meant to be yeah
This is the way God made me
Well there's no excuses it's just the way God made me
This is the way (hey yeah) God made me
It's just the way I am, it's just the way I am, It just the way I am.
