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 like your old love
In the image of the one you used to know
But I won't be a stand in for an old love
Take me as I am or let me go

You're trying to reshape me like your old love
In the image of the one you used to know
But I won't be a stand in for an old love
Take me as I am or let me go
