Take Me As I Am 
(Bob Dipiero/Karen Staley)
 
Baby, don't turn out the light 
I wanna see you look at me 
Whisper only truth tonight 
Not just promises and empty fantasies 
 
Chorus: 
I don't need a bed of roses 
'Cause roses wither away 
All I really need is honesty 
From someone with a strong heart, a gentle hand 
Who'll take me as I am 
 
Baby, I need for you to know 
Just exactly how I feel 
Fiery passions come and go 
I'd trade a million pretty words for one touch that is real 
 
(Repeat chorus) 
 
From someone with a strong heart, a gentle hand 
Who'll take me as I am
