They say I dance to the beat of a different drummer
Don't know where I'm going, or where I'm coming from
You think that's the reason to put me down rough
Just because I'm living in my own world

Take me, take me as I am
Take me, take me as I am
After all I'm just a man
I'm trying to do the best that I can
You gotta take me, take me as I am

Now you say you want money and material things
And all the company, that the high life brings
If that's what you desire, let me show you the door
Remember when I told you be careful what you wish for

Take me, take me as I am
Take me, take me as I am
After all I'm just a man
I'm trying to do the best that I can
You gotta take me, take me as I am

After all I'm just a man
I'm trying to do the best that I can
You gotta take me, take me as I am

Well do I have to spell it out babe, you don't understand
I ain't the status quo, I'm the natural man
The way I live kinda speaks for itself
I'm fixin' way in thinking of no one else

Take me, take me as I am
Take me, take me as I am
After all I'm just a man
I'm trying to do the best that I can
You gotta take me, take me as I am
