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 (Wyclef)]

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 (Sharrissa)]

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 (Sharrissa)]

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
