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
