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...
