Lyrics Wyclef Jean – 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
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 (yeah, I’m a take you as you are)
Even when my girls can’t understand
I choose you as my man
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)

Sharissa
When I was rocking jelly and had a little belly
Who woulda ever thought, you’d think I was sexy
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

Sharissa
And I don’t know why you take me as I am
Even when my girls can’t understand
I choose you as my man (my man, yeah)
Cause you take me as I am (take me as I am)

Sharrissa
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)
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 (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

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

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 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 (my man)
You’re my girl (you’re my man)
You’re my lady (you’re my baby)
You’re my baby (my honey)
