Lyrics Take Me As I Am - Mary J. Blige

Take Me As I Am

She’s been down and out
She’s been wrote about
She’s been talked about constantly
She’s been up and down
She’s been pushed around
But they held her down NYC
She has no regrets
She accepts the past
All these things they help to make she
She’s been lost and found
But she’s still around
There’s a reason for everything, yeah
You know I’ve been holding on Try to make me weak
But I still stay strong
Put my life all up in these songs
Just so you can feel me Chorus
So take me as I am Or have nothing at all
Just take me as I am Or have nothing at all
Yeah she’s older now
Yeah she’s wiser now
Can’t disguise her now, she don’t need
No one telling her what to do and say
No one telling her who to be She’s on solid ground
She’s been lost and found
But she answers to G-O-D
And she’s confident this is not the end
Ask me how I know cause she is me You know I’ve been holding on Try to make me weak
But I still stay strong
Put my life all up in these songs
Just so you can feel me Chorus
So take me as I am As I am Or have nothing at all
Nothing Baby
This is me, this is me Bridge
So its all or nothing or all
Or nothing at all
Don’t you know I can only be me, yeah
So its all or nothing at all
Or nothing at all
Don’t you know I can only be me So take me as I am Or have nothing at all
Just take me as I am This is me, this is me Or have nothing at all
(Pre-Bridge)
Take me as I am Take me as I am Said its all or nothing at all
Said its all or nothing at all
Just take me as I am Or have nothing at all
Just take me as I am Or have nothing at all
Just take me as I am Or have nothing at all
Take me as I am Just take me as I am Take me as I am Or have nothing at all
Take me as I am
