"As I Am" lyrics

I used to think I was the problem
That I wasn't made for love
Got my hopes up way too often
To be told that I was too much
Too much to love, too much to deal with
How did I think I was the problem

It was so easy to hurt me

But it's not what it was
I have grown, grown up
And I'm in love with a man
Who loves me back as I am
As I am
As I am
As I am
As I am

All those times I would cry in the bathroom
Hide away so nobody would see
I couldn't look at the girl in the mirror
'Cause she wouldn't even look at me
She thinks I, thinks I'm too much
Too much to deal with
Baby, I was never the problem
It just wasn't enough

It's so easy to love me

And it's not what it was
I have grown, grown up
And I'm in love with a man
Who loves me back as I am
As I am
As I am
As I am

Wish I could talk to the girl at the party
In the corner in the ripped up jeans
Settle down, be careful with your heart, please
Some day I promise you'll see

That it's not what it was
You have grown, grown up
'Cause I'm in love with a man
Who loves me back as I am
As I am
As I am
As I am
As I am

My baby loves me as I am
Loving me is easy 'cause he can
Love me as I am
