You imagine when you see her   That she's nothing less that perfect   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   Well, 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 swim the English Channel   Writes novels in her spare time   In a cabin in the 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   Who'll 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
