Lyrics Take Me or Leave Me - Idina Menzel, Tracie Thoms

Take Me 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
Boys, girls, I can’t help it baby
So be kind, and don’t lose your mind
Just remember that I’m your baby
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby, or leave me
Take me baby or leave me
A tiger in a cage
Can never see the sun
This diva needs her stage baby, let’s have fun!
You are the one I choose
Folks would kill to fill your shoes
You love the lime light too now, baby
So be mine and don’t waste my time
Cryin' «Oh honey bear are you still my, my, my baby?»
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
Take me baby, or leave me
No way, can I be what I’m not
But hey, don’t you want your girl hot?
Oh, don’t fight, don’t loose your head
'Cause every night who’s in your bed?
Who?
Who’s in your bed?
Kiss, Pookie.
It won’t work
I look before I leap
I love margins and discipline
I make list in my sleep baby
What’s my sin?
Never quit
I follow through
I hate mess but I love you
What do with my impromptu baby?
So be wise, 'cause this girl satisfies
You’ve got a prize so don’t compromise
You’re one lucky baby
Take me for what I am
A control freak.
Who I was meant to be
A snob, yet overattentive
And if you give a damn
A lovable troll geek
Take me baby, or leave me
An anal retentive!
That’s it!
The straw that breaks my back
I quit!
Unless you take it back
Women!
What is it about them?
Can’t live with them or without them!
Take me for what I am
Who I was meant to be
Who I was meant to be
And if you give a damn
And if you give a damn you better
Take me baby, or leave me
Oh, take me baby!
Take me or lea-yea-yeave me
Take me babay-ay-ay!
Or leave me
Guess I’m leaving.
I’m gone!
