About Don't Make Me Over

"Don't Make Me Over" is a song written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, originally recorded by Dionne Warwick in August 1962 and released in fall 1962 as her debut single. The song reached number 21 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number five on the Billboard Hot R&B Singles chart. It was also a top-forty hit in Canada, reaching number 38. Various covers of the song have been made. Jennifer Warnes recorded a version which reached number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1979. In 1989 American singer Sybil reached number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 with her version, one position above Warwick's original, and number two on the Hot Black Singles chart, eventually receiving a gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America. This version also became a UK hit, peaking at number 19 on the UK Singles Chart, and topped the New Zealand Singles Chart for four weeks. A prominent sample of Sybil's version of the song became the basis for Caron Wheeler's 1992 hit single "I Adore You" from the soundtrack of the motion picture Mo' Money starring Damon Wayans. more »

Don't make me over
Now that I'd do
Anything for you
 
Don't make me over
Now that you know how
I adore you
 
Don't pick on the things
I say, the things I do
Just love me with all my faults
That way that I love you
I'm begging you
 
Don't make me over
Now that I can't
Make it without you
 
Don't make me over
I wouldn't change
One thing about you
 
Just take me inside your
Arms and hold me tight
And always be by my side
Whether I'm wrong or right
I'm begging you
 
Don't make me over
Don't make me over
Now that you've got me
At your command
 
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for all the
Things that I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for all the
Things that I do
 
(Now that I can't
Make it without you)
(I wouldn't change
One thing about you)
 
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for all the
Things that I do
Accept me for what I am
Accept me for all the
Things that I do
 
Accept me for what I am
Oh, please accept me
