Bobby Bare - Take Me as I Am (Or Let Me Go) lyrics

Why must you always try to make me over? Take me as I am or let me go White lilies never grow on stalks of clover Take me as I am or let me go You're trying to reshape me in a mold o' love In the image of someone you used to know But I won't be a stand-in for an old love Take me as I am or let me go You've tried to change me ever since you've met me Take me as I am or let me go If you cannot overlook my faults, forget me Take me as I am or let me go You're trying to reshape me in a mold o' now But I won't be a stand-in for an old love Take me as I am or let me go
