Take Me As I Am
Wyclef Jean Lyrics

I wanna send this one out to my vanilla ice-cream chocolate pudding pie that stayed with me in the hood, do or die
This is dedicated to the person who has been with me through thick and thin.

Yeah, this one goes out to my almond joy, my banana that never split, the one that stuck with me
This song is dedicated to the person who has always been faithful and reliable.

Before I had the bling bling, I thought I'd hit up in sing sing. Who would have ever thought that we'd be doing our thing
I never thought I would make it out of my bad situation, but with you by my side, I've made it.

I know I did a little cheating, but once I got caught, I send you a parcel of roses, you sent them back and told me go to hell
I made a mistake and cheated, but when I tried to make it up to you, you rejected me.

But girl you know that, you take me as I am. Even though my fam don't understand why I put that rock up on your hand. That's cos you take me as I am (take me as I am)
You accept me for who I am, even though others might not understand our relationship.

You take me as I am (yeah, I'm a take you as you are). Even when my girls can't understand, I choose you as my man. But you take me as I am, my, my man
I accept you for who you are, even when my friends don't understand us.

When I was rocking jelly and had a little belly, who woulda ever thought, you'd think I was sexy. I say it with an attitude, I admit I came off rude. But still you love me, I know I get on your nerves sometimes
Even when I wasn't at my best and had an attitude, you still found me attractive and loved me despite my flaws.

And I don't know why you take me as I am. Even when my girls can't understand, I choose you as my man (my man, yeah). Cause you take me as I am (take me as I am)
I don't understand why you accept me, but I'm grateful that you do and I choose to be with you.

You're the ocean that breathes that I feel when I'm blowing my trees alone. You're the sun that shines when the darkness strikes at night. You're the love of my life, you're my girl, you're my wife. You're mine, and I'm yours, you take me as I am
You are the one who brings light and happiness into my life. You are my partner and I'm dedicated to you.

Can't believe you take me as I am, am, am, no, oh. Even when they don't understand why you love me. I choose you as my man. Cause you take me as I am (take me as I am)
I can't believe you accept me, even when others don't. I choose to be with you because you accept me for who I am.

You take me as I am, girl I'm a take you as you are. Even though my fam don't understand. My people on the block, they don't understand, no, no. Why I put that rock up on your hand. Cause I take you as you are, you're a star
I accept you for who you are, and your family and friends might not get it. But I know you're special and I want to be with you.
