Various Artists Take Me Or Leave Me lyrics

Valentine's Day, pan across the empty lot
Roger's down at Mimi's
Where he's been for almost two months now
Although he keeps talking about selling his guitar
And heading out of town, still jealous of Benny

God knows where Collins and Angel are
Could be that new Shanty Town
Near the river or a suite at the Plaza Maureen
And Joanne are rehearsing

I said once more from the top, I said no
That is if they're speaking this week, me?
I'm here, nowhere the line is, Cyber Arts
And its corporate sponsor Grey Communications
Would like to mitigate The Christmas Eve riots
What is so difficult about that?

It just doesn't roll off my tongue, I like my version
You dressed as a ground hog to protest the ground breaking
It's a metaphor, well it's less than brilliant, that's it Ms. Ivy League
What? Ever since New Year's, I haven't said boo

I let you direct, I didn't pierce my nipples
Because it grossed you out
I didn't stay and dance at the Clit Club that night
'Cause you wanted to go home

You were flirting with the woman in rubber
That's what this is about?
There will always be women in rubber flirting with me
Gimme a break

Every single day I walk down the street
I hear people say, "Baby's so sweet"
Ever since puberty, everybody stares at me
Boys, girls, I can't can't help it baby
So be kind, 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 baby or leave me

A tiger in a cage can never see the sun
This diva needs her stage, baby let's have fun
You are the one I choose, folks'd kill to fill your shoes
You love the limelight too baby, so be mine
Or don't waste my time cryin', "Honeybear, are you still 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, don't fight
Don't lose your head 'cause every night who's in your bed?
Who's in your bed, baby? Kiss, Pookie

It won't work, I look before I leap, I love margins and discipline
I make lists in my sleep, baby what's my sin?
Never quit, I follow through, I hate mess but I love you
What to do with my impromptu baby?

So be wise, this girl satisfies
You've got a prize but don't compromise
You're one lucky baby, take me for what I am
A control freak, who I was meant to be

A snob yet over-attentive and if you give a damn
A lovable, droll geek, take me baby or leave me
And anal retentive, that's it, the straw that breaks my back
I quit unless you take it back, women, what is it about them?
Can't live with them or without them

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 baby or leave me, guess I'm leavin', I'm gone
