Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - As I Am
Ooh, in another place and time
Ooh, I will be the vision in your mind
I wanted to be everything you wanted
I wanted to be everything you needed
I wanted what I said, to bring to you laughter
I wanted what I did, to make you smile
But in a perfect world, there's no perfection
'Cause in a world of dreams, you're only dreaming
I want it to be real, I just can't take it
As I am
Take me as I am
Now I'm only flesh and blood
Oh, I wish that you could love me as I am
You thought you had me tucked inside your pocket
You thought you had me under your control
Well, you can put my smiling picture in a locket
But you can't put a chain around my soul
But in a perfect world, there's no perfection
'Cause in a world of dreams, you're only dreamin'
Don't try to make me feel that I can't make it
As I am
Take me as I am
Now I'm only flesh and blood
Oh, I wish that you could love me as I am
As I am
Now I'm doing the best I can
Gotta understand and take me as I am
Ooh, in another place and time
Ooh, I will be the vision in your mind
As I am
Take me as I am
Now I'm only flesh and blood
Oh, I wish that you could love me as I am
As I am
Now I'm doing the best I can
Gotta understand and take me as I am
As I am
Now I'm doing the best I can
Gotta understand and take me as I am
Yeah
