Lyrics

JUDGMENT (How I Got This Way)

You can?t judge a book just by reading the end
I?m everything I am - and that?s the way I?ve always been
If you?d seen the things I?ve seen and did what I have done
You?d understand I?m the way I am - and this trip has just begun...

How are you gonna go and push me away?
How are you gonna say I got this way?
How are you gonna go and push me away?
How are you gonna say I got this way?

CHORUS:
If I could put you through all that I?ve been through
Would you still hand down your judgment?
If I could put you through the hell that I?ve been through
Would you lay down your judgment?

You can say what you like and turn your back away
I don?t care what you think of me - I couldn?t change for you anyway
Damn it?s just so hard to please everyone you see
You can trouble yourself all you like - I?m still gonna be me...

How you gonna go and push me away when you don?t even really know me?
How you gonna say I got this way - if you give a damn, why don?t you show me?
How you gonna go and push me away when you don?t even really know me?
How you gonna say I got this way - if you give a damn why don?t you show me?

CHORUS

(4 bar solo)

I won?t let it bring me down - your ignorance is to blame
I won?t let it bring me down - your ignorance is to blame
Pick me apart like a puzzle and - I?ll still be the same...

CHORUS

Push me away - you don?t even really know me
How I got this way - give a damn, why don?t you show me
How you gonna go and push me away when you don?t even really know me
How you gonna say I got this way - I got this wayyyy
