Take Me As I Am — Wyclef Jean

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 arm and 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

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

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

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

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
