"Take Me As I Am" lyrics

"Take Me As I Am"

Radiator says 95
But I ain't felt a drop of heat all night
Here in this motel
There's no telling me nothin'
I come here five nights a week
To clean the toilets and change these sheets
My name's Maggie Duran
Baby ain't that somethin'

If you want it
Come and get it
If you want it
Come and get it
You'll understand
You take me as I am

I know these corners
I know these streets
The curbside prophets
They're yelling at me
He saved my soul
For a drink and a dollar
They keep staring at my tattoos
We all live with the scars we choose
They may hurt like hell
But they all make us stronger

If you want it
Come and get it
If you want it
Come and get it
You'll understand
You take me as I am

Slow to trust
But I'm quick to love
Push too hard
And I feel too much
I can't say that I'm perfect
But I promise I'm worth it

Now I'm standing here in front of you
Tell me boy what you gonna do
My name's Maggie Duran
Baby ain't that somethin'

If you want it
Come and get it
If you want it
Come and get it
You'll understand
You take me as I am
