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 Take me as I am or let me go. You're trying to reshape me in a moment In the image of someone you used to know I won't be a stand-in for an old love Take me as I am or let me go. You've tried to change me ever since you've met me Take me as I am or let me go. If you cannot overlook my faults, forget me Take me as I am or let me go. You're trying to reshape me in a mould love In the image of someone you used to know But I won't be a stand-in for an old love Take me as I am or let me go.
