Lyrics
Take me as I am
I'm looking for a man who is proud of who I am who loves me for the good and the bad
Who's happy to agree to take good care of me, who'll hate to ever make me sad
If you try to knock me down or start to fool around, you'll be quickly out the door
Give me some respect it's what I now expect, a good guy's what I'm looking for
Take me as I am, don't try to make me change
Take me as I am, don't start playing games
I know who I am
So you must understand
Take me as I am, I won't change
In the failures of the past I knew it wouldn't last when they tried to make me someone new
This time I will be strong, tell you when you're wrong, I won't lose what's true
I've had enough of pain, and so I'll make it plain you had better treat me nice
If you're looking to control then it's better if you know that
You'd really better start to think twice
Take me as I am, don't try to make me change
Take me as I am, don't be playing games
I know who I am
So you must understand
Take me as I am, I won't change
