Take me or leave me lyrics

[Maureen]

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

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

Crying oh 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 you head

Cause every night who’s in your bed

Who?

Who’s in your bed

Kiss pookie

[Joanne]

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 got a prize so don’t compromise

You’re one lucky 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

[Maureen]

Control freak

Snob yet over attentive

Lovable droll geek

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)

Take me baby (oh take me, baby)

Or leave me (take me or leave me)

Take me, baby

Or leave me

Guess I’m leaving

I’m gone
