Bob Dylan - Self Portrait

Take Me As I Am (Or Let Me Go)

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 mould love
In the image of someone you used to know
But I won't be your stand-in for an old love
Take me as I am, or let me go (let me go)

You've tried to change me ever since you've met me
Take me as I am, or let me go (let me go)
If you cannot overlook my faults, forget me
Take me as I am, or let me go (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 your stand-in for an old love
Take me as I am, or let me go (let me go)
