Take Me As I Am
You imagine when you see herThat she's nothing less that perfectThat she has no aspirationsBeyond driving in her carThe car she looks so good inWill she ever look that good againYou'll never have to knowBecause she's gone
She passes in the left laneAnd you're turned on by the chaseHer hair flies in the windAs your mind begins to raceThe grass is always greenerBut I wish you could have seen herDrunk and lying with the gutter in her face
Take me as I amTake me as I amFor the woman that I amTake me as I am
You think she knows the bibleAnd can swim the English ChannelWrites novels in her spare timeIn a cabin in her woodsYou wish I'd gone to collegeAnd you wish I'd let my hair growYou wish I didn't have so many moods
Take me as I amTake me as I amFor the woman that I amTake me as I amTake me as I am
Once you said you were in love with meAnd maybe you still areBut the passion you once showed meNow is lost among the starsAnd you fancy some new fancy girlWill come and change your life aroundBut she just turned the corner in her car
While for some other dreamin' driverI am that romantic strangerLookin' better than I amMore mysterious by farSpeeding through his dreamsWhile I'm drivin' in my car
Take me as I amTake me as I amFor the woman that I amTake me as I amTake me as I am
