„I am not perfect, I’m far from it now…“

Niemand ist perfekt. Gerade deshalb ist es bemerkenswert, wenn man trotz seiner kleinen oder größeren Schwächen aufrichtig geliebt wird. Dem kann man eigentlich nur mit Dankbarkeit gegenübertreten. Dies wird in „Take me as I am“ getan, ohne dabei pathetisch zu werden

I know I have my own little ways
I could sink into my world
And just stare into space
Sometimes I’m not sure, if I am right
And the minute I’m unkind, I wish I’d been polite

But without you everything I do has no meaning at all
And I want you to know I appreciate
You don’t put my back against the wall

You take me as I am
Take the good and the bad that I am
I’m no saint, try to do the best I can
And I’m sure you will soon understand
You’ll get your happy end

I am not perfect, I’m far from it now
There are times I feel strange to myself
Peculiar somehow

But without you everything I do has no meaning at all
And I want you to know I appreciate
You don’t put my back against the wall

You take me as I am
Take the good and the bad that I am
I’m no saint, try to do the best I can
And I’m sure you will soon understand
You’ll get your happy end

I’ll try and change
Try to set myself free
I’m holding on
As long as you believe in me

And take me as I am
Take the good and the bad that I am
I’m no saint, try to do the best I can
And I’m sure you will soon understand
You’ll get your happy end
