Nina Simone - Nina Simone Sings The Blues (Expanded Edition)

Whatever I Am (You Made Me)

I was an innocent child
Till you taught me your style
You got me doin' things
That I'd never have done
Don't criticize me, save me
'Cause whatever I am you made me
Whatever I got you gave me

I'm tryin' to hang on
Because my love is so strong
You got me doin' things
That you know I'd never have done
I say don't criticize me, save me
'Cause whatever I am you made me
Whatever I got you gave me

Well, I'm tryin' to be good
Like a woman can be
But you kept on talking that talk to me
And as soon as I fell you put me down
And now you got 'em talking 'bout me
All over this town

You know I can't, can't eat a bite
And I can't sleep at night
'Cause you got me doin' things
That you know ain't right

Don't criticize me, save me
Whatever I am you made me
Whatever I got you gave me
Whatever I am you made me
Whatever I got you gave me

You know, you did it
Don't patronize me
Don't analyze me
Don't criticize me
Just save me
Save me
I've just... save me
Me, save me
Don't criticize me
You know you did it
Nobody but you did it, you did it
You did it, you did it, you did it
You did it and you know it...
