Love Me For What I Am

Carpenters · Horizon [2009]

We fell in love on the first night that we met

Together we've been happy, I have very few regrets

The ordinary problems have not been out to face

But lately little changes have been slowly taking place

You're always finding something is wrong in what I do

But you can't rearrange my life because it pleases you



(Chorus)

You've got to love me for what I am

For simply being me

Don't love me if what you intend

or hope that I will be

And if you're only using me to feed your fantasy

You're really not in love so let me go

I must be free...



If what you want isn't natural for me

I won't pretend to keep you, what I am, I have to be

The picture of perfection is only in your mind

For all your expectations, love can never be designed

We either take each other for everything we are

Or leave the life we've made behind

And make another start



(Chorus)

You've got to love me for what I am

For simply being me

Don't love me if what you intend

or hope that I will be

And if you're only using me to feed your fantasy

You're really not in love so let me go

I must be free...



Instrumental...



And if you're only using me to feed your fantasy

You're really not in love so let me go

I must be free...



You're really not in love so let me go

I must be free.
