Why must you always try to make me over?

        You're trying to reshape me in a moment,
                   D7                                               F       G

        Take me as I am or let me go.   (Let me go)   


You've tried to change me ever since you've met me.
Take me as I am or let me go.
If you cannot overlook my faults, forget me.
Take me as I am or let me go.


        You're trying to reshape me in a mould love,
        In the image of someone you used to know.
        But I won't be a stand-in for an old love.
        Take me as I am or let me go.
