Take Me As I Am
Jekyll & Hyde Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

JEKYLL:
Sometimes I see
Past the horizon,
Sure of my way,
Where I am going -

But where's the prize
I have my eyes on?
Where?
There is just no knowing!

And when despair
Tears me in two,
Who can I turn to
But you?
You know who I am...
Take me as I am.

EMMA:
Look in my eyes,
Who do you see there?
Someone you know,
Or just a stranger?

If you are wise,
You will see me there!
Love is the only danger!

Love meaning me,
Love meaning you,
We'll make that one dream come true!
You know who I am...
Take me as I am.

JEKYLL & EMMA:
Though fate won't always do
What we desire -
Still we can set
The world on fire!

Give me your hand,
Give me your heart -

JEKYLL:
Swear to me we'll never part!

EMMA:
We'll never part!

JEKYLL:
You know who I am.

EMMA:
You know who I am.

JEKYLL:
This is who I am.

EMMA:
This is who I am.





JEKYLL & EMMA:
Take me as I am...
