Artist/Band: Carly Simon
Lyrics for Song: Take Me As I Am
Lyrics for Album: Come Upstairs [1980]



You imagine when you see her

That she's nothing less that perfect

She has no aspirations

Beyond driving in her car

The car she looks so good in

Will she ever look that good again

You'll never have to know

Because she's gone



She passes in the left lane

And you're turned on by the chase

Her hair flies in the wind

As your mind begins to race

Well, the grass is always greener

But I wish you could have seen her

Drunk and lying with the gutter in her face



Take me as I am

Take me as I am

For the woman that I am

Take me as I am



You think she knows the bible

And can swim the English Channel

Writes novels in her spare time

In a cabin in the woods

You wish I'd gone to college

And you wish I'd let my hair grow

You wish I didn't have so many moods



Take me as I am

Take me as I am

For the woman that I am

Take me as I am

Take me as I am



Once you said you were in love with me

And maybe you still are

But the passion you once showed me

Now is lost among the stars

And you fancy some new fancy girl

Who'll come and change your life around

But she just turned the corner in her car



While for some other dreamin' driver

I am that romantic stranger

Lookin' better than I am

More mysterious by far

Speeding through his dreams

While I'm drivin' in my car



Take me as I am

Take me as I am

For the woman that I am

Take me as I am

Take me as I am
