Take Me or Leave Me (From "Rent")

Take Me or Leave Me - The Broadway Performers

Every single day I walk down the street

I hear people say "Baby's so sweet"

Every since puberty everybody stares at me

Boys-girls I can't help it baby

So be kind 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 love the limelight too now baby

So be mine or don't waste my time

Cryin' "Oh honey bear are you still my 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

'Cause every night who's in your bed

Who who's in your bed

It won't work

I look before I leap I love margins and discipline

I make lists in my sleep baby what's my sin

Never quit I follow through I hate mess that I love you

What to do with my impromptu baby

So be wise 'cause this girl satisfies

You've got a prize but don't compromise

You're one lucky baby

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 lovable droll geek）

Take me baby or leave me

（And 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

Guess I'm leavin' I'm gone
