Lyrics for Take Me as I Am (Or Let Me Go)

Why must you always try to make me over? Take me as I am, or let me go White lilies never grow on stalks of clover Take me as I am, or let me go You're trying to reshape me in a mould love In the image of someone you used to know But I won't be your stand-in for an old love Take me as I am, or let me go (let me go) You've tried to change me ever since you've met me Take me as I am, or let me go (let me go) If you cannot overlook my faults, forget me Take me as I am, or let me go (let me go) You're trying to reshape me in a mould love In the image of someone you used to know But I won't be your stand-in for an old love Take me as I am, or let me go (let me go)
