Come as You Are

Brandy · Afrodisiac [2004]

I was just a girl, innocent like a dove

I was just a girl, no thoughts of making love

I was just a girl, holding hands was enough

I was just a girl, a man didn't mean as much

Now I'm a woman, a passionate woman

Now I'm a woman, a true leading woman

Now I'm a woman, a sensual woman

Now I'm a woman, a woman, a woman



I was just a girl, flirtin' was all it was

I was just a girl, kept feelings bottled up

I was just a girl, never knew how to trust

I was just a girl, love didn't mean as much

Now I'm a woman, a passionate woman

Now I'm a woman, a sensual woman

Now I need someone, to have somethin' in common

Now I need someone, someone, someone



[hook]

He don't have to make lots of chedda

He don't have to bring love letters

You don't have to flirt with the fellas

Some'll let you know if you can get up



[chorus]

So come as you are

So come as you are

So come as you are

Different from her



I was just a, I was just a, I was just a girl, sweet like honey

I was just a girl, used to spending money

I was just a girl, you couldn't buy me

I was just a girl, that wrote in a diary

Now I'm a woman, a passionate woman

Now I'm a woman, a true leading woman

Now I'm a woman, a sensual woman

Now I'm a woman, a woman, a woman



I was just a girl, so soft spoken

I was just a girl, mind wasn't open

I was just a girl, I work and make full checks

I was just a girl, I was lonely in the showbiz

Now I'm a woman, a passionate woman

Now I'm a woman, a sensual woman

Now I need someone, to have somethin' in common

Now I need someone, someone, someone



[hook and chorus]



It's what I want, what I want

It's what I want, what I want

It's what I want, what I want

It's what I want, what I want



I need a man who's sure of himself

I need a man who's true to himself

I need a man who does with himself

I need a man who'd weigh more for self



[hook and chorus]
