(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
