Take me as I am or let me go
Why must you always try to make me over
Take me as I am or let me go
White lilies never grow on stalks of clover
Take me as I am or let me go

You're trying to reshape me in a mold love
In the image of someone you used to know
But I won't be a standing for an old love

Take me as I am or let me go
(Take me as I am or let me go)
You've tried to change me ever since you met me
Take me as I am or let me go
If you can't overlook my faults forget me
Take me as I am or let me go
You're trying to reshape me
