I have my lethargy I have my flare I have my secrets That I'm not going to share
I have my authority I have my pride I have my arrogance That I'm not going to hide
Ooh - you can wish for me It just might come true If you want to join me in my journey You are more than welcome to
CHORUS: Love me or leave me However you see me But take me as I am You can hate or adore me Tumble for me But take me as I am
If you like what you see Come and take my hand But this is the one time I'll take my time To make you understand
(Chorus)
I have a life I have my freedom Through time I've gained from boys like you My common sense and wisdom
I have animosity Generosity I have idol envy So everybody look at me
Ooh - you can want me But only how I want you to You can call me "Baby" But I'm not going to crawl for you
(Chorus)
BRIDGE: Take me...forsake me Want me...flaunt me
If you like what you see come and take my hand But this is the one time I'll take my time To make you understand
(Chorus)
Take me...hate me You can do what you want to do But I'm not going to crawl for you Love me...you're not above me Call me "yours" if you think I am But take me or leave me as I am
