Take Me As I Am

Don't lie to my face Every other one I know, it's so hard to take Don't dare think of me Just another that'll be your worst mistake Don't try to interest me With preconceived ideas Of what I should be So I call on you to lay down your fears And take me as I am Or don't take me at all I could never change For you Here I make my stand Watch my innocence fall You take me as I am Or don't take me at all Thanks for the honesty But in the end You're not a friend You're not a friend to me No, I won't go quietly 'Cause nothing's wrong With bein' strong I'm alive and free If you only took the time to notice Maybe I could change your point of view And take me as I am Or don't take me at all I could never change For you Here I make my stand Watch my innocence fall You take me as I am Or don't take me at all Or don't take me at all If you only took the time to notice Maybe I could change your point of view Take me as I am Or don't take me at all I could never change For you Here I make my stand Watch my innocence fall You take me as I am Or don't take me at all Take me as I am Or don't take me at all I could never change For you Here I make my stand Watch my innocence fall You take me as I am Or don't take me at all Take me as I am Or don't take me at all
