Lyrics
I’ve had a lot of big dreams
I’ve made a lot of bad moves
I know you could walk away
But you never do
I’ve met a lot of gold hearts
I’ve learned to smile and deceive
I know I’m hard to be around
But you never leave
And I’m not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand
And you say you love me just as I am
You always treat me the best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me baby just as I am
Just as I am
I’ve made a lot of heartaches
I’ve found a lot of closed doors
When all the others turn away
You love me more, you love me more
And I’m not easy to understand
But you hold out your hand
And you say you love me just as I am
You always treat me the best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me baby just as I am
Just as I am
I want to love forever
To keep our world together
And be the best that I can be
Baby, every time the world caves in on me
You say you love me just as I am
You always treat me the best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me baby, just as I am
Just as I am
You say you love me just as I am
You always treat me the best that you can
You say you want me, need me
Love me baby, just as I am
Just as I am
