[Maureen:]
|
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 or leave me
|
|
[Maureen:]
|
A tiger in a cage
|
Can never see the sun
|
This diva needs her stage baby
|
Lets have fun
|
You are the one I choose
|
Folks will kill to fill your shoes
|
You love the lime light to now baby
|
So be mine but don't waste my time
|
Cryin' 'honey bear 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?
|
Oh, don't fight, don't loose your head
|
'cause every night who's in your bed?
|
Who?
|
Who's in your bed?
|
[Spoken:] kiss pookie
|
|
[Joanne:]
|
It won't work
|
I look before I leap
|
I love margins and discipline
|
I make list in my sleep baby
|
Whats my sin?
|
Never quit
|
I follow through
|
I hate mess but I love you
|
What do with my improptu baby?
|
So be wise 'cause this girl satisfies
|
You got a prize but don't compromise
|
Your one lucky baby
|
|
[Joanne:] take me for what I am
|
[Maureen:] a control freak
|
[Joanne:] who I was meant to be
|
[Maureen:] a snob yet over attentive
|
[Joanne:] and if you give a damn
|
[Maureen:] a loveable droll geek
|
[Joanne:] take me baby or leave me
|
[Maureen:] a anal retentave
|
|
[Both:] thats it
|
[Joanne:] the straw that breaks my back
|
[Both:] I quit
|
[Joanne:] unless you take it back
|
[Maureen:] women what is it about them?
|
[Both:] can't live with them or without them
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
[Both:] take me for what I am
|
[Joanne:] who I was meant to be
|
[Maureen:] who I was meant to be
|
And if you give a damn
|
[Joanne:] and if you give a damn then
|
Take me baby, or leave me
|
[Maureen:] take me baby, take me or la-la-la-la-la-leave me
|
[Both:] take me baby or leave me
|
[Spoken:] guess I'm leaving I'm gone!
