As I Am

I don't believe it Although I see it You turn your head and tell your friends that I'm too strange Thought I was smart I showed my heart But the only way you'll smile at me Is if I start to change And so I try And I try again But nothing ever works out in the end... How many hoops must I jump through Before you finally give a damn? How many ways must I lose myself Before you love me as I am? I'm not so perfect But I'm still worth it At least, the people 'round me say that I'm just fine But they go home And I'm left alone Waiting for someone to come along And pay me any mind And so I cry And I cry again 'Cause all I ever wanted was a friend... How many hoops must I jump through Before you finally give a damn? How many ways must I lose myself Before you love me as I am? Oh, oooh Oh, oooh Oh, oooh Oooh How many hoops must I jump through Before you finally give a damn? How many ways must I lose myself Before you love me as I am? I should be roaring like a lion Instead, I'm dying like a lamb How many ways must I lose myself Before you love me as I am? Before you love me as I am?
