(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





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
