Hmm, yeah

Well, don't try to change my beat, babe

I ain't your Sunday hat

I am what I am

And that's all there is to that



Now don't try to do me over

I ain't your piece of clay, no

I am what I am

And that's all I?



Oh, you gotta hold me

(Hold me, the way I am)

Kiss me

(Kiss me the way I am)

Love me, baby

(Love me, the way I am)

Or you ain't gonna love me at all



If you want me, baby

To be your lovin' man

You gotta hold me, kiss me, love me, yeah yeah

Take me the way I am



Hmm, yeah



Don't try to make me perfect

I ain't some kind of saint

I am what I am

And anything else I ain't



I'll never be an angel

But? my? is true, yeah

I am what I am

And I am in love with you



So you gotta hold me

(Hold me, the way I am)

Kiss me

(Kiss me the way I am)

Love me, baby

(Love me, the way I am)

Or you ain't gonna love me at all



If you want me, baby

To be your lovin' man

You gotta hold me, kiss me, love me, yeah yeah

Take me the way I am

You gotta hold me, kiss me, love me, yeah yeah

Take me the way I am



Hmm, yeah
