Take Me Or Leave Me Lyrics

Every single day, I walk down the street
I hear people say, "Baby's 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
And 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', "O' Honey bear
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
Who 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
(And 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
And if you give a damn
You better, take me baby or leave me
Take me baby or leave me

Guess I'm leavin'
I'm gone
