As Is Lyrics - Little Plastic Castle - Ani Difranco

You can't hide 

Behind social graces 

So don't try 

To be all touchy feely 

'cause you lie 

In my face of all places 

But I got no 

Problem with that really 

What bugs me 

Is that you believe what you're saying 

What bothers me 

Is that you don't know how you feel 

What scares me 

Is that while you're telling me stories 

You actually 

Believe that they are real 

I get no illusions about you 

Guess what 

I never did 

When I said 

When I said I'll take it 

I meant 

I meant as is 

Just give up 

And admit you're as asshole 

You would be 

In some good companyand I think you'd find 

That your friends would forgive you 

Or maybe I 

Am just speaking for me 

When I look around 

I think this, this is good enough 

And I try to laugh 

At whatever life brings 

'cause when I look down 

I just miss all the good stuff 

And when I look up 

I just trip over things 

I've got no illusions about you 

Guess what 

I never did 

When I say 

When I say I'lll take it 

I mean 

I mean as is
