Take Me As I Am

The radiator says ninety-five

But I ain't felt a drop of heat all night

Here in this motel

There's no tellin' me nothing

I come here five nights a week

To clean the toilets and change these sheets

My name's Maggie Durant

Baby, ain't that something?

If you want it

Come and get it

If you want it

Come and get it

But understand

You take me as I am

I know these corners, I know these streets

The curbside prophet there yellin' at me

He can save my soul

For a drink and a dollar

Yeah, he's yellin' about my tattoos

But we all live with the scars we choose

They might hurt like hell

But they all make us stronger

If you want it

Come and get it

If you want it

Come and get it

But understand

You take me as I am

Slow to trust but I'm quick to love

I push too hard and I give too much

I ain't sayin' I'm perfect

But I promise I'm worth it

Now I'm standin' here in front of you

Tell me, boy, what you gonna do?

'Cause my name's Maggie Durant

I said, ain't that something?

If you want it

Come and get it

If you want it

Come and get it

But understand

If you want it

Come and get it

If you want it

Come and get it

But understand

You take me as I am
