Lyrics
JUST AS I AM
Copyright 1997 revised version by Daniel Curzon and Dan Turner
Verse #1
NO MATTER HOW PEOPLE TALK,
NO MATTER HOW GREAT THE PROBLEM,
OR WHO MAY DISAGREE,
ALL I AM IS JUST ME.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SHOULD SAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT I CAN PROMISE.
DO YOU LIKE WHAT YOU SEE?
ALL I AM IS JUST ME.
Chorus:
AND IF I SHOULD ASK YOU
IF YOU COULD LOVE ME,
OH PLEASE GOD, DON'T ANSWER
THAT YOU'RE SO SORRY.
Verse #2
FORGIVE ME IF I'M TOO PLAIN.
FORGIVE ME IF I'M NOT CAUTIOUS.
THAT'S THE WAY I MUST BE.
ALL I AM IS JUST ME.
I'M NOT AS BRAVE AS I SEEM.
I DON'T KNOW WHICH WAY IS FORWARD.
BUT I HOPE YOU CAN SEE
ALL I AM IS JUST ME.
Chorus:
AND IF I SHOULD ASK YOU
IF YOU COULD LOVE ME,
OH PLEASE GOD, DON'T ANSWER
THAT YOU'RE SO SORRY.
Verse #3
PLEASE LOVE ME JUST AS I AM,
AND DON'T HURT ME.
PLEASE LOVE ME JUST AS I AM,
DON'T DESERT ME.
PLEASE LOVE ME JUST AS I AM --
WHETHER WOMAN OR MAN!
FOR WITHOUT YOU I'M DAMNED! (alternate last line)
