- Take Me As I Am Lyrics / with translations[Verse 1]
Darling, take me as I am or no way at all
I am poor, I don't have a nickel
No place to call my own
But, if you love me, that's all that matters
And I love you
[Verse 2]
I'm not rich, darlin', I don't have fancy clothes
But, if you love me every night
That's all I care for
[Chorus]
I don't care for money
Neither fancy clothes
All that I care for is your love
[Verse 3]
If you can cook and be a good housewife
You don't have to wear lipstick and powder
All the make-up, darlin', to try to make me love you
If you can cook, then it's all that I need
[Outro]
Mmmmm, mmmmm-hmmmm, I know, you was meant for me
Darling, we were meant for each other
Mmmmm
Darling, take me as I am or no way at all
I am poor, I don't have a nickel
No place to call my own
But, if you love me, that's all that matters
And I love you
[Verse 2]
I'm not rich, darlin', I don't have fancy clothes
But, if you love me every night
That's all I care for
[Chorus]
I don't care for money
Neither fancy clothes
[Verse 3]
If you can cook and be a good housewife
You don't have to wear lipstick and powder
All the make-up, darlin', to try to make me love you
If you can cook, then it's all that I need
[Outro]
Mmmmm, mmmmm-hmmmm, I know, you was meant for me
Darling, we were meant for each other
Mmmmm
