JOAN JETT & THE BLACKHEARTS - As I Am lyrics

OOOh, in another place and time

OOOh, 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 dreamin'

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 it under your control

You can put my smilin' 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 make me feel like 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 doin' the best I can

Try to understand

And love me as I am

Oooo, in another place and time

Oooo, 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 doin' the best I can

Try to understand

Now I know God has a plan

And I guess that's why she made me

As I am
