Lyrics
Take Me Like I Am
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm living on the other side of the track it's true
But like it or not I'm just as good as you
If I see you coming with your head held so high
Don't you worry 'bout me speaking I'll pass you right on by
This world is full of money but I haven't got a dime
Had a million heartaches, but I'm happy all the time
I can be like a tiger or as meek as a lamb
If you wanna get along with me you'll take me like I am
You can talk about your fancy friends and your millionaires
I may not have their money but I don't have their cares
You can live in a mansion set up on a golden throne
But all these things you have in life are gonna vanish when I'm gone
This world is full of money but I haven't got a dime
Had a million heartaches, but I'm happy all the time
I can be like a tiger or as meek as a lamb
If you wanna get along with me you'll take me like I am
This world is full of money but I haven't got a dime
Had a million heartaches, but I'm happy all the time
I can be like a tiger or as meek as a lamb
If you wanna get along with me you'll take me like I am
