Take Me or Leave Me

Every single day, I walk down the street
I hear people say, "Baby's 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
And 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 limelight too, now baby
So be mine and don't waste my time
Cryin', "O' Honey bear, are you still my, my, my, baby?"
(Don't you dare)
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?
Don't fight, don't lose 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 lists in my sleep, baby, what's my sin?
Never quit, I follow through, I hate mess but I love you
What to do with my impromptu baby?
So be wise 'cause this girl satisfies, you've got a prize
Who 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 over-attentive)
And if you give a damn (A lovable, droll geek)
Take me baby or leave me (And 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
And if you give a damn
You better, take me baby or leave me
Take me baby or leave me
Guess I'm leavin' I'm gone
