Take Me As I Am

[Wyclef]

I wanna send this one out to my vanilla ice-cream chocolate pudding pie

That stayed with me in the hood, do or die

Refugee camp

[Sharissa]

Yeah, this one goes out to my almond joy

My banana that never split

The one that stuck with me

[Wyclef]

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 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

[Wyclef]

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)

[Sharissa (Wyclef)]

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

[Wyclef (Sharrissa)]

You're my girl (my man)

You're my girl (my man)

You're my lady (my man)

You're my baby

[Sharissa]

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

[Sharissa]

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)

[Sharrissa]

You take me as I am, girl I'm a take you as you are

Even though my fam don't understand (they can't understand no, no, no, no)

Why I put that rock up on your hand (girl)

That's cause you take me as I am

[Wyclef (Sharrissa)]

You're my girl (you're my man)

You're my girl (you're my man)

You're my lady (you're my baby)

You're my baby (my honey)

[Wyclef]

You're the ocean that breathes that I feel when I'm blowing my trees alone

[Sharissa]

You're the sun that shines when the darkness strikes at night

[Wyclef]

You're the love of my life, you're my girl, you're my wife

[Sharissa]

You're mine, and I'm yours, you take me as I am

Wait a minute

[Sharissa (Wyclef)]

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)

[Wyclef]

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

[Wyclef (Sharrissa)]

You're my girl (my man)

You're my girl (you're my man)

You're my lady (you're my baby)

You're my baby (my honey)
