Like It Or Not
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.
You can call me a sinner
And you can call me a saint
Celebrate me for who I am
Dislike me for what I ain't
Put me up on a pedestal
Or drag me down in the dirt
Sticks and stones will break my bones
But your names will never hurt
I'll be the garden, you'll be the snake
All of my fruit is yours to take
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow
Because
This is who I am
You can like it or not
You can love me or leave me
Cause I'm never gonna stop, no, no
Cleopatra had her way
Matahari too
Whether they were good or bad
Is strictly up to you
Life is a paradox
And it doesn't make much sense
Can't have the femme without the fatale
Please don't take offense
Don't let the fruit rot under the vine
Fill up your cup and let's drink the wine
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow
Because
This is who I am
You can like it or not
You can love me or leave me
Cause I'm never gonna stop, no, no, you know
This is who I am
You can like it or not
You can love me or leave me
Cause I'm never gonna stop, no, no, you know
No no, you know
No no, you know
No no, you know
No no, you know
I'll be the garden, you'll be the snake
All of my fruit is yours to take
Better the devil that you know
Your love for me will grow
Because
This is who I am
You can like it or not
You can love me or leave me
Cause I'm never gonna stop, no, no, you know
This is who I am
You can like it or not
You can love me or leave me
Cause I'm never gonna stop, no, no, you know
No no, you know
No no, you know
No no, you know
No no, you know
