SINGER: Rent

SONG:Take Me Or Leave Me

Every single day
i walk down the street
i hear people say, "baby, so sweet."
ever since puberty
everybody stares at me
boys, girls i can't help it, baby
So be kind and 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 would kill to fill your shoes
you will love the limelight too
so be mine or don't waste my time
praying "oh, honey bear, are you still my, 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
because every night, who's in your bed?
who's in your bed? kiss pookie
It won't work
i look before i leap
i like 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 because this girl satisfies
you've got a prize but don't compromise
you're one lucky lady
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 loveable joke)
take me baby or leave me (an 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
Yes i'm leaving, i'm gone!
