Take Me As I Am

Music and Lyrics by Mary Ott Copyright 1993

Chorus:
Take me as I am
I?m not changin? nothin?
Not an eyelash or a button,
These things you?d better understand.
Take me as I am
Don?t try to make me over,
I?m not your kitchen or Range Rover,
Don?t remodel me or customize.

Verse:

I?ve heard every line a time or two
You?re just tryin? to do what?s best for you.
I don?t blame you, you should have what you want
Check down the aisle marked, Debutante.

Chorus

Verse 2:
You said you loved me just the way I was,
Then you started pickin? on my clothing and my gloves.
I won?t be shattered if you decide to leave,
But if you?re stayin? honey,
There is one thing that I need.

Chorus

Bridge:
Quirky, aggrevating, stubborn,
This is true.
But I love you honey, just you for you.
There are sides to me,
That aren?t that hard to take,
Magical moments and sleepin? late.

Chorus
