Take Me as I Am (Or Let Me Go)

(Boudleaux Bryant)



Why must you always try to make me over

Take me as I am or let me go

White lilies never grow on stalks of clover

Take me as I am or let me go.



You're trying to reshape me in a mold love

In the image of someone you used to know

But I won't be a standing for an old love

Take me as I am or let me go.



--- Instrumental ---



You've tried to change me ever since you met me

Take me as I am or let me go

If you don't want me like I am forget me

Take me as I am or let me go.



Then take me as I am or let me go...
