Mary J. Blige - Take Me as I Am
Written by:Lonnie List
Is there a place where
All that I've lost
Will be returned to me
And is there a day
The souls that I pray to
Are coming back for me
Don't tell me it's alright
It'll never be alright
Why don't you come
Why don't you come back
I need a love that's unconditional
Why don't you try to understand
Why don't you come
Why don't you come back
If this love is unconditional
Why don't you take me
As I am
Just take me as I am
The love that I seek
Is it hidden beneath
A wound that won't bleed
Look is there something you
Want is there something
You need from me
Cause I tell you now
These hands are empty
And it aches in my bones
To be here
On my own without it
Watching the love
That I'm craving getting further
Away the more that
I want it
So don't tell me it's alright
It'll never be alright
Why don't you come
Why don't you come back
I need a love that's unconditional
Why don't you try to understand
Why don't you come
Why don't you come back
If this love is unconditional
Why don't you
Take me as I am
Just take me as I am
If you look in
My eyes you'll see
Sorrow rising and falling
All cause the love that
I'm craving's getting
Further away the more
That I want it
