(Boudleaux Bryant)



(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

You'll have to take me as I am or let me go.



You're trying to reshape me in a mold love

In the image of someone you used to know

But I'll not be a standing for an old love

You'll have to take me as I am or let me go.



You'll have to take me as I am or let me go...
