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 to make she

She's been lost and found

And she's still around

There's a reason for everything

(Yeah)

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.

So you can get the real me

[Chorus:]

So take me as I am, (take me as I am)

Or have nothing at all. (nothing at all)

Just take me as I am,

Or have nothing at all. (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. (yeah)

You know I've been holdin on. (I've been holdin on)

Try to make me weak,

But I still stay strong. (stay strong)

Put my life all up in these songs

Jus so you can feel me.

So you can get the real me

[Chorus:]

So take me as I am,

Or have nothing at all. (at all)

Just take me as I am, (as I am)

Or have nothing at all. (this is me, this is me)

[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 I can only be me.) [x2]

[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.
