Strangers are so unfamiliar   Gold will never look silver   You will always be you   And I’ll take you as you are      As you are is how I want you   And I want you oh so bad   As you are is how I need you   And I need you more and more   Need you more then I did before      Calendar pages are so unmerciful   I watch them cross the days off   Without my consent   And you stand just as you are      Waking in the morning   Just to see the sunrise    Sounds so nice   If you are as you are      Sleeping with your lovely scent   On the pillow case   Sounds so inviting   If you are as you are      They didn’t like what you created    Said that you were so outdated   Thought that maybe you should change   Who are they to set your range?      I like you as you are   I’ll take you as you are   I want and need you as you are   I need you more then I did before   Wanting never hurt so bad   Needing never seemed more sad   But being used never felt so good      As you are   I’ll take you as you are   Take me for who I am   Don’t try and change me   It’s not worth it   I like being me   And I like seeing you   Just as you are
