Take Me as I Am Songtext

von U2 & Mary J. Blige

She's been down and out.
She's been wrote about.
She's been talked about constantly.
She's been up and down.
She's been pushed around.
But they held her down, NYC.
She has no regrets.
She accepts the past.
All these things they helped to make she.
She's been lost and found.
And she's still around.
There's a reason for everything, yeah.
You know I've been holding on (Hmmm)
Try to make me weak but I still stayed strong (Yeah)

Put my life all up in these songs.
Just so you can feel me.
So you can get the real me.
So take me as I am.(Take me as I am)
Or have nothing at all.(Ohh, nothing at all)

Just take me as I am.(Yeah)
Or have nothing at all.(Or have nothing)
(At all)
Yes, she's older now.
Yes, she's wiser now.

Can't disguise her now.
She don't need no one telling her what to do and say.
No one telling her who to be.
She's on solid ground.
She's been lost and found.
Now she answers to G-O-D.
And she's confident.
This is not the end.
Ask me how I know cuz she is me, yeah.
You know I've been holding on.(I've been holding on)
Try to make me weak but I still stayed strong.(Stayed strong)
Put my life all up in these songs.
Just so you can feel me.
(So you can get the real me.)
So take me as I am.(Hey)
Or have nothing at all.(Or have nothing at all)

Just take me as I am.(Ohhh, as I am)
Or have nothing at all.(Or nothing baby, this is me)
(This is me)
So it's all or nothing at all.
All or nothing at all.(All or nothing)

Don't you know I can only be me? (I can only be me)
Yeah. (I can only be me)
So it's all or nothing at all. (Ohhh)
All or nothing at all. (Oh, all or nothing)
Don't you know I can only be me? (I can only be me)

...
This is me
(Yeah, take me yeah)
So take me as I am.(As I am)
Or have nothing at all.(Or have nothing)
Just take me as I am.(I can only be me, yeah)(I can only be me, yeah)
Or have nothing at all.(So take me, take me as I am)
(Or have nothing at all)
