Take Me As I Am

(Marie Wilson, Robert Parde) Don't lie to my face Like everyone I know it's so hard to take Don't dare think of me Of 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 Not a friend to me No I won't go quietly Cause nothings wrong with being strong I'm alive and free 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
