(Carly Simon/Mike Mainieri/Sid McGinnis)
|
You imagine when you see her
|
That she's nothing less that perfect
|
That she has no aspirations
|
Beyond driving in her car
|
The car she looks so good in
|
Will she ever look that good again
|
You'll never have to know
|
Because she's gone
|
|
She passes in the left lane
|
And you're turned on by the chase
|
Her hair flies in the wind
|
As your mind begins to race
|
The grass is always greener
|
But I wish you could have seen her
|
Drunk and lying with the gutter in her face
|
|
Take me as I am
|
Take me as I am
|
For the woman that I am
|
Take me as I am
|
|
You think she knows the bible
|
And can swin the English Channel
|
Writes novels in her spare time
|
In a cabin in her woods
|
You wish I'd gone to college
|
And you wish I'd let my hair grow
|
You wish I didn't have so many moods
|
|
Take me as I am
|
Take me as I am
|
For the woman that I am
|
Take me as I am
|
Take me as I am
|
|
Once you said you were in love with me
|
And maybe you still are
|
But the passion you once showed me
|
Now is lost among the stars
|
And you fancy some new fancy girl
|
Will come and change your life around
|
But she just turned the corner in her car
|
|
While for some other dreamin' driver
|
I am that romantic stranger
|
Lookin' better than I am
|
More mysterious by far
|
Speeding through his dreams
|
While I'm drivin' in my car
|
|
Take me as I am
|
Take me as I am
|
For the woman that I am
|
Take me as I am
|
Take me as I am
|
