Take Me As I Am Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
She's been down and out
She's been wrote about
She's been talked about, constantly
She's been up and down
She's been pushed around
But they held her down, NYC
She has no regrets
She accepts the past
All these things they
helped make to make she
She's been lost and found
And she's still around
There's a reason for everything

You know I've been holdin on.
Try to make me weak,
But I still stay strong.
Put my life all up in these songs
Jus so you can feel me.

[Chorus:]
So take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.
Just take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.

[Verse 2:]
Now she's older now
Yes, she's wiser now
Can't disguise her now
She don't need
No one tellin her
What to do and say
No one tellin her
Who to be
She's on solid ground
She's been lost and found
Now, she answers to G-O-D
And she's confident
This is not the end
Ask me how I know
Cause she is me.

You know I've been holdin on.
Try to make me weak,
But I still stay strong.
Put my life all up in these songs
Jus so you can feel me.

[Chorus:]
So take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.
Just take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.

[Bridge: 2x]
So it's all or nothing at all,
All or nothing at all
Don't you know I can only be me.
(I can only be me, yeah)

[Chorus:]
So take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.
Just take me as I am,
or have nothing at all.

Take me as I am.
Take me as I am.
Said it's all or nothing at all
Said it's all or nothing at all

Just take me as I am,
or have nothing at all. (This is me)
Just take me as I am, (take me as i am)
or have nothing at all.
Just take me as I am, (take me as i am)
or have nothing, nothing at all.
Take me as I am

An original poem by me...

"Roses are red, violets are blue....you're a dick!"

Thank you, thank you very much:)

Something that works....

"Try a little tenderness..."

I want...

I want to dance with you in the rain...

I want to memorize your smile...

I want your laughter to always ring in my ears...

I want to lose myself in your eyes...

I want to be the one you turn to...

I want hold you til we are one...

I want your warmth to embrace me...

I want share secret smiles with you...

I want to see you by candlelight...

I want to hear you whisper in my ear...

I want to know the secrets of your soul...

I just want you to come soon...

Life or something like it...

We are always in a hurry to get to a destination where again we must wait...

We are always too busy to listen to those that need to be heard...

We are always in rush to get through another day...

We breeze through the seasons without seeing them change...

We take for granted the ones we love because they are always there...

I love you becomes lip service...something that is said but not felt...

Passion is empty...contrived...put on...

Friendships are left to collect dust in the pursuit of something called life...

Are you really living life? Or just something like it?

As for me...I plan on living it...embracing it...holding it close and savoring every second...
