Take Me As I Am (or Let Me Go) Lyrics - Dottie West

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 love 

In the image of someone you used to know 

But I won't be a standing for an old love 

Take me as I am or let me go 

You've tried to change me ever since you met me 

Take me as I am or let me go 

If you can't overlook my faults, forget me 

Take me as I am or let me go 

Oh, you're trying to reshape me in a mold love 

In the image of someone you used to know 

But I won't be a standing for an old love 

Take me as I am or let me go
