"Who Will Love Me As I Am?" lyrics
(performed by Shannon Purser)
(originally from "Side Show" musical)
(from "Riverdale: Season 7" soundtrack)
Like a fish plucked from the ocean
Tossed into a foreign stream
Always knew that I was different
Often fled into a dream
I ignored the raging currents
Right against the tide I swam
But I floated with the question
Who will love me as I am?
Could we bend the laws of nature?
Could a lion love a lamb?
Who could see beyond this surface?
Who will love me as I am?
Like a clown whose tears cause laughter
Trapped inside the center ring
Even seeing smiling faces
I am lonely pondering
Who would want to join this madness?
Who would change my monogram?
Who will be part of my circus?
Who will love me as I am?
Who will ever call to say "I love you"?
Send me flowers or a telegram?
Who could proudly stand beside me?
Who will love me as I am?
Tossed into a foreign stream
Always knew that I was different
Often fled into a dream
I ignored the raging currents
Right against the tide I swam
But I floated with the question
Who will love me as I am?
Could we bend the laws of nature?
Could a lion love a lamb?
Who could see beyond this surface?
Who will love me as I am?
Like a clown whose tears cause laughter
Trapped inside the center ring
Even seeing smiling faces
I am lonely pondering
Who would want to join this madness?
Who would change my monogram?
Who will be part of my circus?
Who will love me as I am?
Who will ever call to say "I love you"?
Send me flowers or a telegram?
Who could proudly stand beside me?
Who will love me as I am?
