SINGER: Wyclef Jean

SONG:Take Me As I Am

[wyclef]
i wanna send this one out to my vanilla ice-cream chocolate pudding pie
that stayed with me in the hood, do or die
refugee camp
[sharissa]
yeah, this one goes out to my arm and joy
my banana that never split
the one that stuck with me
[wyclef]
before i had the bling bling
i thought i'd hit up in sing sing
who would have ever thought that we'd be doing our thing
i know i did a little cheating
but once i got caught
i send you a parcel of roses
you sent them back and told me go to hell
[wyclef]
but girl you know that, you take me as i am
even though my fam don't understand
why i put that rock up on your hand
that's cos you take me as i am (take me as i am)
[sharissa (wyclef)]
you take me as i am (yeah, i'm a take you as you are)
even when my girls can't understand
i choose you as my man
but you take me as i am, my, my man
[wyclef (sharrissa)]
you're my girl (my man)
you're my girl (my man)
you're my lady (my man)
you're my baby
[sharissa]
when i was rocking jelly and had a little belly
who woulda ever thought, you'd think i was sexy
i say it with an attitude, i admit i came off rude
but still you love me, i know i get on your nerves sometimes
[sharissa]
and i don't know why you take me as i am
even when my girls can't understand
i choose you as my man (my man, yeah)
cause you take me as i am (take me as i am)
[sharrissa]
you take me as i am, girl i'm a take you as you are
even though my fam don't understand (they can't understand no, no, no, no)
why i put that rock up on your hand (girl)
that's cause you take me as i am
[wyclef (sharrissa)]
you're my girl (you're my man)
you're my girl (you're my man)
you're my lady (you're my baby)
you're my baby (my honey)
[wyclef]
you're the ocean that breathes that i feel when i'm blowing my trees alone
[sharissa]
you're the sun that shines when the darkness strikes at night
[wyclef]
you're the love of my life, you're my girl, you're my wife
[sharissa]
you're mine, and i'm yours, you take me as i am
wait a minute
[sharissa (wyclef)]
can't believe you take me as i am, am, am, no, oh
even when they don't understand why you love me
i choose you as my man
cause you take me as i am (take me as i am)
[wyclef]
you take me as i am, girl i'm a take you as you are
even though my fam don't understand
my people on the block, they don't understand, no, no
why i put that rock up on your hand
cause i take you as you are, you're a star
[wyclef (sharrissa)]
you're my girl (my man)
you're my girl (you're my man)
you're my lady (you're my baby)
you're my baby (my honey)
