I would have you as you are
That's the way I love you
I'm so afraid that time and life
I would have you as you are
That's the way I love you
I'm so afraid that time and life
May mellow and mature you
Afraid some clever analyst
May in a decade cure you
Don't change your basic patterns
Strange, as they may be
They way you are, oh my darling
You never can belong to anybody else but me
I love your streak of cruelty
Your psychopathic lies
The homicidal tendencies
Shining in your eyes
Don't change your psychic structures,
Weird as it may be
Your wild and strange misbehavior
And you rich my lonely days with very deep anxiety
I love your endless fantasies
Your morbid little tears
You make me feel so needed, sweet
With your countless fears
Don't change your odd neuroses
They're what make you mine
For no one else dear would have you
So don't you ever change a lick
No, stay darling, stay, way under par
Stay darling, stay, as constant as the stars.
Stay darling, stay
Stay as sick as you are
