As I Am Lyrics - Joan Jett And The Blackhearts

(Joan Jett/Desmond Child) 

OOOh, in another place and time OOOh, I will be the vision in your mind 

I wanted to be everything you wanted 

I wanted to be everything you needed 

I wanted what I said 

To bring to you laughter 

I wanted what I did to make you smile 

But in a perfect world 

There's no perfection 

Cause in a world of dreams 

You're only dreaming 

I want it to be real 

I just can't take it

As I am 

Take me as I am 

Now I'm only flesh and blood 

Oh I wish that you could 

Love me as I am 

You thought you had me 

Tucked inside your pocket 

You thought you had it under your control 

You can put my smiling picture in a locket 

But you can't put a chain around my soul 

But in a perfect world 

There's no perfection 

Cause in a world of dreams 

You're only dreamin' 

Don't make me feel like I can't make it

As I am 

Take me as I am 

Now I'm only flesh and blood 

Oh I wish that you could 

Love me as I am 

As I am 

Now I'm doing the best I can 

Try to understand 

And love me as I am 

Oooo, in another place and time 

Oooo, I will be the vision in your mind 

As I am 

Take me as I am 

Now I'm only flesh and blood 

Oh I wish that you could 

Love me as I am 

As I am 

Now I'm doing the best I can 

Try to understand 

Now I know God has a plan 

And I guess that's why she made me 

As I am
