Take Me or Leave Me

Every single day

I walk down the street

I hear people say

"Baby" so sweet

Ever since puberty

Everybody stares at me

Boys, girls

I can't help it, baby

So be kind

And don't lose your mind

Just remember

That I'm your baby

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be

And if you give a damn

Take me baby or leave me

Take me baby or leave me

A tiger in a cage

Can never see the sun

This diva needs her stage

Baby, let's have fun!

You are the one I choose

Folks would kill to fill your shoes

You love the limelight too now, baby

So be mine

But don't waste my time

Cryin', "Oh honeybear

Are you still my, my, my baby?"

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be

And if you give a damn

Take me baby or leave me

No way, can I be what I'm not

But hey, don't you want your girl hot?

Don't fight, don't lose your head

'Cause every night, who's in your bed?

Who, who's in your bed?

Kiss, pookie

It won't work, I look before I leap

I love margins and discipline

I make lists in my sleep

Baby, what's my sin?

Never quit, I follow through

I hate mess, but I love you

What to do with my impromptu baby?

So be wise

'Cause this girl satisfies

You've got a prize, so don't compromise

You're one lucky baby

Take me for what I am

(A control freak)

Who I was meant to be

(A snob, yet over-attentive)

And if you give a damn

(A lovable, droll geek)

Take me baby or leave me

(An anal retentive!)

That's it! The straw that breaks my back

I quit, unless you take it back

Women, what is it about them?

Can't live with them or without them!

Take me for what I am

Who I was meant to be

(Who I was meant to be)

And if you give a damn

(And if you give a damn then you'll)

Take me baby or leave me

(Oh take me baby, take me or leave me)

Take me baby

Or leave me

Guess I'm leaving

I'm gone!
