"Come As You Are" lyrics

I was just a girl, innocent like a dove
I was just a girl, no thoughts of making love
I was just a girl, holding hands was enough
I was just a girl, a man didn't mean as much
Now I'm a woman, a passionate woman
Now I'm a woman, a true leading woman
Now I'm a woman, a sensual woman
Now I'm a woman, a woman, a woman

I was just a girl, flirtin' was all it was
I was just a girl, kept feelings bottled up
I was just a girl, never knew how to trust
I was just a girl, love didn't mean as much
Now I'm a woman, a passionate woman
Now I'm a woman, a sensual woman (A sensual woman)
Now I need someone, to have somethin' in common
Now I need someone, someone, someone

He don't have to make lots of cheddar (No, no)
He don't have to bring love letters (Oh)
You don't have to flirt with the fellas (Fellas)
Some'll let you know if you can get up

So come as you are, baby
So come as you are, baby
So come as you are, baby
Different from her (Oh)

I was just a, I was just a, I was just a girl, sweet like honey
I was just a girl, used to spending money
I was just a girl, you couldn't buy me
I was just a girl, that wrote in a diary
Now I'm a woman, a passionate woman (Passionate woman)
Now I'm a woman, a true leading woman (Yes I am)
Now I'm a woman, a sensual woman (Yeah)
Now I'm a woman, a woman, a woman

I was just a girl, so soft spoken
I was just a girl, mind wasn't open
I was just a girl, I work and make full checks
I was just a girl, I was lonely in the showbiz
Now I'm a woman, a passionate woman
Now I'm a woman, a sensual woman
Now I need someone who has something in common
Now I need someone, someone, someone

He don't have to make lots of cheddar
(I don't need you for your money)
He don't have to bring love letters (Baby, just holla at me)
You don't have to flirt with the fellas (No, you don't)
Some'll let you know if you can get up

So come as you are
So come as you are (Come as you are)
So come as you are (Need you just the way you are)
Different from her (Baby, baby)

It's what I want, what I want
It's what I want, what I want
It's what I want, what I want
It's what I want, what I want
I need a man who's sure of himself
I need a man who's true to himself
I need a man who does with himself
I need a man who'd weigh more for self

He don't have to make lots of cheddar (I just need your love)
He don't have to bring love letters (Baby, give it all to me)
You don't have to flirt with the fellas (Oh)
Some'll let you know if you can get up ('Cause I need you)

So come as you are
So come as you are (Baby, I love you)
So come as you are (Oh, I need you desperately)
Different from her (Hey)
