Take Me Or Leave Me Lyrics - Rent - Rent

Every single day 

I walk down the street 

I hear people say 

"Baby" 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 Honeybear 

Are you still my, my, my baby?" 

(Don't you dare!) 

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 satisfies 

You've got a prize, so 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 

(An 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 

(And if you give a damn you better) 

Take me baby or leave me 

(Oh take me baby, take me or leave me) 

Take me baby 

Or leave me 

Guess I'm leaving 

I'm gone!
