[Verse 1]
Every single day
I walk down the street
I hear people say
"Baby's so sweet"
[Verse 2]
Ever since puberty
Everybody stares at me
Boys, girls, I can't can't help it, baby
So be kind and don't lose your mind
Just remember that I'm your baby
[Verse 3]
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me, baby, or leave me
Take me, baby, or leave me
[Verse 4]
A tiger in a cage
Can never see the sun
This diva needs her stage, baby
Let's have fun
You are the one I choose
Folks would kill to fill your shoes
You will love the limelight, too, now baby
[Verse 5]
So be mine
Or don't waste my time
Cryin', "Oh, honeybear
Are you still my, my, my baby?"
[Verse 6]
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me, baby, or leave me
[Verse 7]
No way can I be what I'm not
But, hey, don't you want your girl hot?
Don't fight
Don't lose your head
'Cause every night, who's in your bed?
Who, who's in your bed?
Kiss, Pookie
[Verse 8]
It won't work, I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make lists in my sleep, baby
What's my sin?
[Verse 9]
Never quit, I follow through
I hate mess, but I love you
What to do with my impromptu baby?
So be wise 'cause this girl satisfies
You've got a prize, but don't compromise
You're one lucky baby, oh
[Verse 10]
Take me for what I am
A control freak
Who I was meant to be
A snob, yet over-attentive
And if you give a damn
A lovable, droll geek
Take me, baby
An anal retentave
Or leave me
[Verse 11]
That's it!
The straw that breaks my back
I quit unless you take me back
Women, what is it about them?
Can't live with them or without them
[Verse 12]
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
And if you give a damn, then you'll
Take me, baby, or leave me
Woo, take me, baby, take me or leave me
Take me, baby, or leave me
[Verse 13]
Guess I'm leaving
I'm gone
