Whatever I Am, You Made Me Lyrics by Koko Taylor

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!
Coz whatever I am you made me
Whatever I got you gave me
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!
Coz 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 ? 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
Coz 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
