Take Me As I Am (or Let Me Go) Lyrics - Jean Shepard

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 

[ steel ] 

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 

You're trying to reshape me...
