(marie wilson, robert parde)

Dont lie to my face
Like everyone I know its so hard to take
Dont dare think of me
Of just another thatll be your worst mistake
Dont 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 dont 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 dont take me at all

Thanks for the honesty
But in the end youre not a friend
Not a friend to me
No I wont go quietly
Cause nothings wrong with being strong
Im 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 dont 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 dont 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 dont 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 dont take me at all
