[Verse 1]
Why must you always try to make me over?
Take me as I am, or let me go
White lilies never grow on stalks of clover (Oooh)
Take me as I am, or let me go
You're trying to reshape me in a mold, love (Oooh)
In the image of someone you used to know (Ohhh)
And I won't be a stand-in for an old love
Take me as I am, or let me go
[Verse 2]
You've tried to change me ever since you met me
Take me as I am, or let me go
If you can't overlook my faults, forget me (Oooh)
Take me as I am, or let me go
You're trying to reshape me in a mold, love (Oooh)
In the image of someone you used to know (Ohhh)
And I won't be a stand-in for an old love
Take me as I am, or let me go
