(Joan Jett/Desmond Child)

|
OOOh, in another place and time OOOh, I will be the vision in your mind
|
|
I wanted to be everything you wanted
|
I wanted to be everything you needed
|
I wanted what I said
|
To bring to you laughter
|
I wanted what I did to make you smile
|
|
But in a perfect world
|
There's no perfection
|
Cause in a world of dreams
|
You're only dreaming
|
I want it to be real
|
I just can't take it
|
|
As I am
|
Take me as I am
|
Now I'm only flesh and blood
|
Oh I wish that you could
|
Love me as I am
|
|
You thought you had me
|
Tucked inside your pocket
|
You thought you had it under your control
|
You can put my smiling picture in a locket
|
But you can't put a chain around my soul
|
|
But in a perfect world
|
There's no perfection
|
Cause in a world of dreams
|
You're only dreamin'
|
Don't make me feel like I can't make it
|
|
As I am
|
Take me as I am
|
Now I'm only flesh and blood
|
Oh I wish that you could
|
Love me as I am
|
As I am
|
Now I'm doing the best I can
|
Try to understand
|
And love me as I am
|
|
Oooo, in another place and time
|
Oooo, I will be the vision in your mind
|
|
As I am
|
Take me as I am
|
Now I'm only flesh and blood
|
Oh I wish that you could
|
Love me as I am
|
As I am
|
Now I'm doing the best I can
|
Try to understand
|
Now I know God has a plan
|
And I guess that's why she made me
|
As I am
|
