The Way I Am Lyrics

Well, don′t try to change me, baby
I ain't your Sunday hat
I am what I am and that′s all there is to that
Don't try to do me over
I ain't a piece of clay, no
I am what I am and that′s how I′m gonna stay

So you gotta hold me (Hold me the way I am)
Kiss me (Kiss me the way I am)
Love me, baby (Love me the way I am)
Or you ain't gonna love me at all (Not at all)
If you want me, baby, to be your lovin′ man
You gotta hold me, kiss me, love me, yeah, yeah
Take me the way I am

Don't try to make me perfect
I ain′t some kind of saint
I am what I am and anything else I ain't
I will never be an angel
I got my faults, it′s true, yeah
I am what I am and I am in love with you

So you gotta hold me, yeah (Hold me the way I am)
Kiss me (Kiss me the way I am)
Love me, baby (Love me the way I am)
Or you ain't gonna love me at all (Not at all)
If you want me, baby, to be your lovin' man
You gotta hold me, kiss me, love me, yeah, yeah
Take me the way I am
You gotta hold me, love me, kiss me, yeah, yeah
Take me the way I am
