Take Me as I Am

[Wyclef]
I wanna send this one out to
My vanilla ice-cream chocolate pudding pie
That stayed with me in the hood, do or die
Refugee camp
[Sharissa]
Yeah, this one goes out to
My almond joy
My banana that never split
The one that stuck with me
[Wyclef]
They call it
[Wyclef]
Before I had the bling bling
I thought I'd hit up in Sing Sing
Who would have ever thought that
We'd be doing our thing
I know I did a little cheating
But once I got caught
I send you a parcel of roses
You sent them back and told me go to hell
[Wyclef]
But girl you know that, you take me as I am
Even though my fam don't understand
Why I put that rock up on your hand
That's 'cos you take me as I am
(take me as I am)
[Sharissa (Wyclef)]
You take me as I am
(hmm, I'm a take you as you are)
Even when my girls can't understand
(they don't know)
I choose you as my man, why
But you take me as I am, my, my man
[Wyclef (Sharrissa)]
You're my girl (my man)
You're my girl (my man)
You're my lady (my man)
You're my baby
[Sharissa]
When I was rocking jelly and had a little belly
Who woulda ever thought, you'd think I was ***y
I say it with an attitude, I admit I came off rude
But still you love me
I know I get on your nerves sometimes
And I don't know why
[Sharissa]
You take me as I am
Even when my girls can't understand oh oh
I choose you as my man
(my man, yeah yeah)
'Cause you take me as I am
(take me as I am)
[Wyclef]
You take me as I am
Girl I'm a take you as you are
Even though my fam don't understand
(they can't understand no, no, no, no, no)
Why I put that rock up on your hand (girl)
That's 'cause you take me as I am
[Wyclef (Sharrissa)]
You're my girl (you're my man)
You're my girl (you're my man)
You're my lady (my baby)
You're my baby (my honey)
[Wyclef]
You're the ocean that breathes that I feel
When I'm blowing my trees alone
[Sharissa]
You're the sun that shines
When the darkness strikes at night
[Wyclef]
You're the love of my life, you're my girl
You're my wife, you're my everything
[Sharissa]
You're mine, and I'm yours
You take me as I am
Wait a minute
[Sharissa (Wyclef)]
Can't believe you take me as I am, am, am, no, oh
Even when they don't understand why you love me
(I love you girl yeah)
I choose you as my man
'Cause you take me as I am
(take me as I am)
[Wyclef]
You take me as I am
Girl I'm a take you as you are
Even though my fam don't understand
My people on the block
They don't understand, no, no
Why I put that rock up on your hand
'Cause I take you as you are, you're a star
[Wyclef (Sharrissa)]
You're my girl (you're my man)
You're my girl (you're my man)
You're my lady (you're my baby)
You're my baby (my honey)
[Wyclef]
You're the ocean that breathes that I feel
When I'm blowing my trees alone
