Marie Wilson Take Me As I Am
Don't lie to my face
Every other one I know, it's so hard to take
Don't dare think of me
Just another that'll be your worst mistake
Don't try to interest me
With preconceived ideas
Of what I should be
So I call on you to lay down your fears
And take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
I could never change
For you
Here I make my stand
Watch my innocence fall
You take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
Thanks for the honesty
But in the end
You're not a friend
You're not a friend to me
No, I won't go quietly
'Cause nothing's wrong
With bein' strong
I'm alive and free
If you only took the time to notice
Maybe I could change your point of view
And take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
I could never change
For you
Here I make my stand
Watch my innocence fall
You take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
Or don't take me at all
If you only took the time to notice
Maybe I could change your point of view
Take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
I could never change
For you
Here I make my stand
Watch my innocence fall
You take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
Take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
I could never change
For you
Here I make my stand
Watch my innocence fall
You take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
Take me as I am
Or don't take me at all
