George Jones — Take Me as I Am lyrics

Lyrics

Why must you always try to make me over?
Take me as I am or let me go White lilies never grow on stalks of clover
Take me as I am or let me go.
You’re trying to reshape me in a moment
In the image of someone you used to know
I won’t be a stand-in for an old love
Take me as I am or let me go.
You’ve tried to change me ever since you’ve met me Take me as I am or let me go.
If you cannot overlook my faults, forget me Take me as I am or let me go.
You’re trying to reshape me in a mould love
In the image of someone you used to know
But I won’t be a stand-in for an old love
Take me as I am or let me go.
