Take Me Or Leave Me

Every single day

I walk down the street

I hear people say

Baby's so sweet

Ever since puberty

Everybody stares at me

Boys, girls

I can't help it, baby

So be kind

And don't lose your mind

Just remember that I'm your baby

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be

And if you give a damn

Take me, baby, or leave me

Take me, baby, or leave me

A tiger in a cage

Can never see the sun

This diva needs her stage

Baby, let's have fun

You are the one I choose

Folks would kill to fill your shoes

You love the limelight too

Now, baby

So be mine

And don't waste my time

Cryin', oh, honey bear, are you still my, my, my baby?

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be

And if you give a damn

Take me, baby, or leave me

No way

Can I be what I'm not

But hey, don't you want your girl hot?

Don't fight

Don't lose your head

'Cause every night

Who's in your bed?

Who?

Who's in your bed?

Kiss, pookie

It won't work

I look before I leap

I love margins and discipline

I make lists in my sleep

Baby, what's my sin?

Never quit

I follow through

I hate mess but I love you

What to do

With my impromptu, baby

So be wise

'Cause this girl girl satisfies

You got a prize

But don't compromise

You're one lucky baby

Take me for what I am (A control freak)

Who I was meant to be (A snob yet over attentive)

And if you give a damn (A lovable, droll geek)

Take me, baby, or leave me (And anal retentive)

That's it

The straw that breaks my back

I quit

Unless you take it back

Women

What is it about them?

Can't live with them or without them

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be (Who I was meant to be)

And if you give a damn (If you give a damn you better)

Take me, baby, or leave me (Take me, baby, or leave me)

(Leave me)

Take me, baby, or leave me

Guess I'm leavin'

I'm gone
