Take Me As I Am Lyrics
(Carly Simon/Mike Mainieri/Sid McGinnis)You imagine when you see herthat she's nothing less that perfectThat she has no aspirationsBeyond driving in her carThe car she looks so good inWill she ever look that good againyou'll never have to knowBecause she's goneShe passes in the left laneAnd you're turned on by the chaseHer hair flies in the windAs your mind begins to raceThe grass is always greenerBut I wish you could have seen herDrunk and lying with the gutter in her faceTake me as I amTake me as I amFor the woman that I amTake me as I amYou think she knows the bibleAnd can swin the English ChannelWrites novels in her spare timeIn a cabin in her woodsYou wish I'd gone to collegeAnd you wish I'd let my hair growyou wish I didn't have so many moodsTake me as I amTake me as I amFor the woman that I amTake me as I amTake me as I amOnce you said you were in love with meAnd maybe you still areBut the passion you once showed meNow is lost among the starsAnd you fancy some new fancy girlWill come and change your life aroundBut she just turned the corner in her carWhile for some other dreamin' driverI am that romantic strangerLookin' better than I amMore mysterious by farSpeeding through his dreamsWhile I'm drivin' in my carTake me as I amTake me as I amFor the woman that I amTake me as I amTake me as I am
Carly Simon Take Me As I Am
