Take Me As I Am Lyrics - Carly Simon

You imagine when you see her 

that she's nothing less that perfect 

That she has no aspirations 

Beyond driving in her car 

The car she looks so good in 

Will she ever look that good again 

you'll never have to know 

Because she's gone 

She passes in the left lane 

And you're turned on by the chase 

Her hair flies in the wind 

As your mind begins to race 

The grass is always greener 

But I wish you could have seen her 

Drunk and lying with the gutter in her face

Take me as I am 

Take me as I am 

For the woman that I am 

Take me as I am 

You think she knows the bible 

And can swin the English Channel 

Writes novels in her spare time 

In a cabin in the woods 

You wish I'd gone to college 

And you wish I'd let my hair grow 

you wish I didn't have so many moods 

Take me as I am 

Take me as I am 

For the woman that I am 

Take me as I am 

Take me as I am

Once you said you were in love with me 

And maybe you still are 

But the passion you once showed me 

Now is lost among the stars 

And you fancy some new fancy girl 

Will come and change your life around 

But she just turned the corner in her car 

While for some other dreamin' driver 

I am that romantic stranger 

Lookin' better than I am 

More mysterious by far 

Speeding through his dreams 

While I'm drivin' in my car 

Take me as I am 

Take me as I am 

For the woman that I am 

Take me as I am 

Take me as I am
