Take Me As I Am Lyrics - Mary J. Blige

1 She's been down and out

2 She's been wrote about

3 She's been talked about, constantly

4 She's been up and down

5 She's been pushed around

6 But they held her down, NYC

7 She has no regrets

8 She accepts the past

9 All these things they

10 Helped make to make she

11 She's been lost and found

12 And she's still around

13 There's a reason for everything

14 You know I've been holdin on.

15 Try to make me weak,

16 But I still stay strong.

17 Put my life all up in these songs

18 Jus so you can feel me.

19 So take me as I am,

20 Or have nothing at all.

21 Just take me as I am,

22 Or have nothing at all.

23 Now she's older now

24 Yes, she's wiser now

25 Can't disguise her now

26 She don't need

27 No one tellin her

28 What to do and say

29 No one tellin her

30 Who to be

31 She's on solid ground

32 She's been lost and found

33 Now, she answers to G-O-D

34 And she's confident

35 This is not the end

36 Ask me how I know

37 Cause she is me.

38 You know I've been holdin on.

39 Try to make me weak,

40 But I still stay strong.

41 Put my life all up in these songs

42 Jus so you can feel me.

43 So take me as I am,

44 Or have nothing at all.

45 Just take me as I am,

46 Or have nothing at all.

47 So it's all or nothing at all,

48 All or nothing at all

49 Don't you know I can only be me.

50 (I can only be me, yeah)

51 So it's all or nothing at all,

52 All or nothing at all

53 Don't you know I can only be me.

54 (I can only be me, yeah)

55 So take me as I am,

56 Or have nothing at all.

57 Just take me as I am,

58 Or have nothing at all.

59 Take me as I am.

60 Take me as I am.

61 Said it's all or nothing at all

62 Said it's all or nothing at all

63 Just take me as I am,

64 Or have nothing at all. (This is me)

65 Just take me as I am, (take me as i am)

66 Or have nothing at all.

67 Just take me as I am, (take me as i am)

68 Or have nothing, nothing at all.

69 Take me as I am.
