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 limelight too now, baby So be mine But don't waste my time Cryin', "Oh honeybear 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? 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, 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 over-attentive) And if you give a damn (A lovable, droll 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 then you'll) Take me baby or leave me (Oh take me baby, take me or leave me) Take me baby Or leave me Guess I'm leaving I'm gone!
