What I Deserve

I deserve a little kindness

I deserve my due respect

I deserve to be beloved

Just like everybody else

I deserve my place in Heaven

I deserve an equal share

I deserve my rightful cut

Of everything, everywhere

God, Roxanne, am I asking for too much?

Why should I have to beg

For what everybody wants?

Take me right now, I don't care if I have your love, I'll have no fear

Nothing's even, nothing's fair, Roxanne, I didn't ask to be here

I'll pick the lock, I'll draw the knife

I'll climb the wall, I'll crash the gate

'Cause I deserve a happy life

Whatever I'm not given, I'll take

God, Roxanne, am I asking for too much?

Why should I have to beg

For what everybody wants?

I deserve a little kindness

I deserve my due respect

I deserve to be beloved

Just like everybody else

God gave me the life I'm living

You better make no mistake

I deserve to be forgiven

Whatever I'm not given, I'll take
