You imagine when you see her
   that she's nothing less that perfect
   That she has no aspirations
   Beyond driving in her car
   The car she looks so good in
   Will she ever look that good again
   you'll never have to know
   Because she's gone
  
   She passes in the left lane
   And you're turned on by the chase
   Her hair flies in the wind
   As your mind begins to race
   The grass is always greener
   But I wish you could have seen her
   Drunk and lying with the gutter in her face
  
   Take me as I am
   Take me as I am
   For the woman that I am
   Take me as I am
  
   You think she knows the bible
   And can swin the English Channel
   Writes novels in her spare time
   In a cabin in her woods
   You wish I'd gone to college
   And you wish I'd let my hair grow
   you wish I didn't have so many moods
  
   Take me as I am
   Take me as I am
   For the woman that I am
   Take me as I am
   Take me as I am
  
   Once you said you were in love with me
   And maybe you still are
   But the passion you once showed me
   Now is lost among the stars
   And you fancy some new fancy girl
   Will come and change your life around
   But she just turned the corner in her car
  
   While for some other dreamin' driver
   I am that romantic stranger
   Lookin' better than I am
   More mysterious by far
   Speeding through his dreams
   While I'm drivin' in my car
  
   Take me as I am
   Take me as I am
   For the woman that I am
   Take me as I am
   Take me as I am
