Take me for what I am Who I was meant to be And if you give a damn Take me baby or leave me Every single day I walk down the street I hear people say, "Baby so sweet" Ever since puberty Everybody stares at me

In my solitude I sit in my chair With gloom everywhere I sit and I stare I know that I'll soon go mad Dear Lord above Send back my love You haunt me

Like a scream but sort of silent Living out my nightmares Voices repeating me 'Feeling threatened? We reflect your hopes and fears.' Voices discussing me 'Others steal your thoughts They're not confined 'Love, just don't stare'

Remind me, remind me Yeah you'd wake up in my old t-shirt We didn't care if people stared We'd make out in a crowd somewhere Somebody'd tell us to get a room It's hard to believe that was me and you Now we keep saying that we're OK But I don't want to

In my solitude I sit in my chair With gloom everywhere I sit and I stare I know that I'll soon go mad Dear Lord above Send back my love You haunt me

I must have seemed Did I just turn and stare in icy silence What was I to say? What can you say When a love affair is over? How insensitive When he told me that he loved me How unmoved and cold When he told me so sincerely Why he must have asked

What the hell did I do to deserve all of this? Gimme any reason not to fuck you up I'm cold I'm ugly I'm always confused by everything I can stare into a thousand eyes But every smile hides a bold faced lie It itches it seethes it festers and breathes

Take me for what I am Who I was meant to be And if you give a damn Take me baby or leave me Every single day I walk down the street I hear people say, "Baby so sweet" Ever since puberty Everybody stares at me

Tell me love isn't true It's just something that we do Tell me everything I'm not Tell the bed not to lay Not to stare up at me Like a calf down on its knees But don't ever tell me to stop (Don't you ever tell) Don't tell me to stop

Nothing beats a failure like a try There's a great reward Someone will surely hail you Together we'll always be I saw you over there But what could I do? I couldn't stand and stare Or come and talk to you And it is always fair
