Take Me As I Am (Or Let Me Go)
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 are trying to reshape me in a mould, love,
In the image of someone you used to know.
But I won't be a stand-in for an old love,
Take me as I am or let me go.
You've tried to change me ever since you've met me.
Take me as I am or let me go.
If you can not overlook my faults, forget me,
Take me as I am or let me go.
