Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am timid and
I am oversensitive
I am a lioness
I am tired and defensive
You take me in your arms
And I fall into you
I have insecurities
You show me I am beautiful
[Verse 2]
Love me or leave me
Just take it or leave it
It's not that I'm needy
Just need you to see me
[Verse 3]
Take me, free me, see through to the core of me
Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending
[Verse 4]
I am temperamental and
I have imperfections and
I am emotional
I am unpredictable
I am naked
I am vulnerable
I am a woman
I am opening up to you
[Verse 5]
Love me or leave me
Just take it or leave it
It's not that I'm needy
Just need you to see me
[Verse 6]
Take me, free me, see through to the core of me
Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending
[Verse 7]
Now I stand before you with my heart in my hands
I'm asking you to take me just the way that I am
Please lay down your arms
Do you know me? Make me feel safe from harm
[Verse 8]
Oh, just take me, free me, see through to the core of me
See through, take me, free me, there will be no more pretending
[Verse 9]
I am temperamental and
I have imperfections and
I am emotional
There'll be no more pretending
