  • 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

    Mm

    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
