I Am

I am timid and I am oversensitive I am a lioness I am tired and defensive You take me in your arms And I fall into you I have insecurities You show me I am beautiful Love me or leave me Just take it or leave it It's not that I'm needy Just need you to see me Take me, free me, see through to the core of me Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending Mmmm... I am temperamental and I have imperfections and I am emotional I am unpredictable I am naked I am vulnerable I am a woman I am opening up to you Love me or leave me Just take it or leave it It's not that I'm needy Just need you to see me Take me, free me, see through to the core of me Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending Now I stand before you with my heart in my hands I'm asking you to take me just the way that I am Please lay down your arms, do you know me? Make me feel safe from harm Take me, free me, see through to the core of me Take me, free me, there will be no more pretending I am temperamental and I have imperfections and I am emotional There'll be no more pretending Mmhmm...
